Projects
FSAE GR24 Battery Module Design
Gaucho Racing
16s3p segment architecture with wire-bonded fusible links for each parallel cell.
FSAE GR24 Battery Pack Design
Cylindrical 2170 cells, 128s3p, 537.6 V max, 6.2 kWh nominal, split into 8 segments.
FSAE GR24 Battery Cooling Cold Plate Leak Test
Gaucho Racing
Battery water cooling was chosen instead of air cooling for two main reasons:
FSAE GR23 Battery Segment Design & Manufacturing SOP
Gaucho Racing
This SOP provides a guide to safely manufacture and assemble battery segments of the GR23 electrical vehicle
FSAE Accumulator Mounting
FSAE Accumulator Mounting
Gaucho Racing
The accumulator container (a sheet metal box) houses the batteries, battery management system, and safety circuitry.
EV Battery Cooling Research
EV Battery Cooling Research
Research on a novel EV battery cooling method, presented at the UCSB CSEP Colloquium Poster Session in August 2023.
