Battery Action Items from Previous Meeting
U bolts need extra design considerations to prevent sliding and rattling
Initial intension is to use velcro straps to secure the battery
Cushioning in metal part would be great
Separate locating features from clamping features
Next Steps
check possibility of using a plate and standoffs
Nail down exactly what connection method you want to connect the ubolts to the battery
sheet metal vs plate etc
Add some locating feature to constrain the position of the battery
figure out how to connect battery to plate or sheet metal part (straps, velcro, etc)
wrap up cad after that
reducing vibrations
Ebox Prev Meeting Action Items
Shelf design will likely not work due to wiring
Next steps
Priority access list
Wiring to/from components
Revisit layout & look at CAD for integration ideas
Ebox Past Week Progress
Talked with Farris & created priority access list
Created initial design idea for ebox that allows easy access to most components, low CG, adequate cooling
Open to feedback/suggestions
Contacted protocase & inquired about integrating polycarbonate into design
Thinking it will make it lighter and is non conductive
They said they can but there are limitations and they need to see the design
