Hello John, There are 54 cell groups in the modules. 54 cell groups /2 = 27 module groups which are three parallel consider as one cell.
Therefore 54 cell groups x 4.2 volts = 226.8 volts maximum. There are 9 modules groups with contains three parallel modules which becomes 27 modules per battery. I am using three batteries which have 9 modules at 8.4 volts per module which contain two cell groups. 9 modules x 2 cells groups becomes 18 each 4.2 volt cells per battery. The total voltage per battery should be 18 x 4.2V = 75.6 volts The three sub batteries in series, the total pack voltage should be 3 x 75.6 = 226.8 volts. Are you confused yet. It is best to draw out the wiring diagram to see it.

I use a pack of 3x40 for my F250, and have the charger set to stop at 328V. Pack is approx 180AH. -- Bobcats and Cougars, oh my! http://john.casadelgato.com/Pets<http://john.casadelgato.com/Pets> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
