Updated my battery pack calculator after some feedback
A while ago I posted a small battery calculator I made for myself, and got some useful feedback from people here.
I've made a few changes since then.
The calculator now lets you select the cell chemistry, enter the maximum discharge current of a cell, and choose the power consumption instead of always assuming 1000 W.
It also calculates things like:
- total number of cells
- pack capacity in Wh
- capacity per cell
- minimum / maximum pack voltage
- estimated maximum battery current
- approximate runtime
For example, you can enter something like 14S8P, the pack voltage, cell capacity and discharge current, and it calculates the rest.
I also fixed some input validation issues and added English/Russian language support.
It's still a fairly simple tool, but I found it useful when quickly comparing different pack configurations.
If anyone has suggestions for calculations that would actually be useful when designing or comparing battery packs, I'd be interested to hear them.
