Eight removable 18650 cells
The board carries eight standard cylindrical 18650 cells for battery-pack and energy-storage experiments.
Battery Power Platform
8-Cell 18650 Battery Array Board
A modular eight-cell 18650 battery platform with four removable dual-cell holders, clear polarity guidance, high-current power distribution, a board-edge USB-C interface, and a rigid serviceable assembly.
Four dual-cell holders
Four independent two-cell holders make installation, replacement and cell inspection straightforward.
Clear polarity guidance
Molded holder symbols and PCB-edge markings help identify the required cell orientation during assembly.
High-current power distribution
Large copper distribution areas on the rear PCB provide low-resistance paths between the cell groups and board interface.
Board-edge USB-C interface
An accessible USB-C connector supports integration with the board’s power and control circuitry.
Cell access and test points
Exposed plated connection points provide access for pack wiring, measurement and development work.
Rigid mechanical assembly
Four corner standoffs, screws and distributed mounting points keep the long battery array securely assembled.
Open design files
Editable OrCAD schematic, Allegro PCB, Gerber and NC drill files are being prepared for public release.
