6/24 update:
It was rainy this morning... so, no road bike riding.
Anyway, I made more progress on the eBike. I applied two coats of primmer/sealer then painted the remaining wood pieces. I screwed the motor controller and BMS to the board. I left about 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap between the board and the motor controller and BMS. I also picked up some heat sink compound to put between the mosfet's and a heat sink (
see picture, next to motor controller and BMS).
I mounted the BMS on top of a 7mm thick piece of EVA foam, I did this because I don't want the BMS to be ridigidly mounted to the board. I cut out a small section below the mosfet's on the BMS, this way I reduce the risk of melting the EVA foam.
I also glued a 7mm foam cut out on the battery box side panel that I painted today, (not pictured).
Last night I ordered a 35 amp AGU fuse/fuse holder. I'll mount the fuse holder to the board as well. I plan to wire the fuse before the BMS, (
in an effort to protect the BMS from too many amps)
Tomorrow, I need to work on heat shrinking the big battery 'pack' and installing the second torque arm.
