How to build batteries - EP5: Building Enterguise an Electric Art Car for Burning Man. DIY 18650

In this episode, we review some basic battery concepts, 18650 lithium ion battery cells and how to build battery modules using 3D printed holders. The battery modules are designed to fit inside the Enterguise platform and be a visual component of the warp floor with edge lighting. The battery packs are made of 76x 3D printed battery modules (clear PLA plastic), each with 10x NCR18650B Panasonic lithium ion cells in it. Each cell is soldered using a thin wire as a fuse to the brass battery terminals.
