This second one has a larger capacity, higher voltage Lipo pack...
(Equals longer run time between charges - 3 hrs!)
Build pictures and video below:
Battery:
6S 12 Amp hour Lipo pack!
Battery voltage monitor color code:
Bright blue - Full charge
Cyan - Very good
Green - Good
Yellow/Amber - Low warning
Red - Batteries low
Voltage and current readings:
To the emitter - 33.2 Volts / 3 Amps
Battery current draw - 4.07 Amps
This will be about 3 hours run time between charges...
Total weight with battery and everything - 7 pounds, 8 ounces. (2 pounds lighter than my 100W HID build)
Here's a brief video:
Hope you like it!
Here's some parts links:
LED
Larger reflector and lens
Boost driver for LED
Buck driver for fan
Heatsink and fan
Lipo pack
Wire management clips
18 gauge wire
I already had the balance charger. But if you don't have one that will handle a 6S Lipo pack, then you will need one...
Here's mine
The aluminum frame is made from 3/4" X 1/16" angle - Home Depot
Handle is 3/4" X 3/4" aluminum square - Home Depot
Front stand is 3/4" X 1/8" aluminum flat - Home Depot
It's a fun project, quite a bit of work though. But nice payoff!
