JimmyM's Mag64458 210Watt 18cell badboy

[nitnapz]

I just had to share with the modified gang, i hope incandescents check here out aswell.

Jesus did an awesome job cutting, threading and boring a 5D into a 3D.
Lux welded 18x1500 Elite high discharge cells for this build.
Jimmy built it, engineering the electronics, insulation and testing.

He creates a soft start with the JM-SST, so that the voltage would creep up on 20V, not at the point of flashing the bulb. The duty cycle is set to 85.5%

here are some pictures, enjoy !

-new charging setup with a Triton2

-thanks to cy for the clamp tip and brass contacts

-checking voltage before a "wow shot

-the light

-voltage after a quickie

-VIDEO-
-inside & outside test (houses)


-outdoors, newspaper test


-burning a coke bottle

 

[mpf]

That's what I call a torch and a flash light.

On a fresh pack, sreaming hot off the charger, the JM-SST creeps up on 21V.
In testing that thing, I was reminded exactly how bright the 458 is.
During testing, I had to double and triple check my measurements because "the pack voltage can't POSSIBLY be holding that steady!" For about 3 minutes, it refused to go below ~21V.

While at your photobucket, I spotted the video of this thing cooking a slice of Canadian bacon... LOL. Excellent!

LOL! It's always fun to see what becomes of our more extreme creations! Great post & videos. You are a man who knows how to have fun!

Jimmy, CBP has a run time plot on those cells here.

The key thing is the testing, selecting, and conditioning of the cells I talked about here. If you have one bad cell, it ruins the pack, and it takes a few charge/discharge cycles to flush out the lemons.

WOW that is bad ***! Thanks.

I would like to build one very soon.:twothumbs:twothumbs

And those graphs are at 20A! The 458 is running at about 10.8Arms.
