Hi guys.
Here is a link [1] to an article describing the teardown of an Tesla Model S Battery.
Its made out of thousands of individual 18650 LiMh Cells.
I thought some of you might find that interesting.
btw:
Would any of you be interested in a post about possible specifications of the F1 electrical systems (2014+ regulations).
I have done some basic calculations and if any of you are interested i could write up a small post to get speculations going.
Things like DC Bus voltage, max currents, mgu k/h rpm, efficiency, dc/dc topologies, used semiconductor technology, possible ES types (supercap, lipo, liFePo, hybrid), battery management strategies, overall system weight, temperatures, .....
cheers Stefan
