About the Batt pack PCB

Batt pack is an open source PCB design by sensorable, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 11.2 × 11.2 mm, with 25 components from 9 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the Module_AliExpress_LM2596HVS and Module_AliExpress_BMS_3s_Balancing-3S0404LI502. By type, the board carries 18 connectors, 2 modules, 1 diode and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

A 6-cell battery pack for Sensorable Open Source Camera

Charging voltage: 14v ... 36v Output voltage: 9.3v ... 12.6v Batteries: Li-Ion 18650 x3 or x6 Operational temp: 0C ... 40C Enclosure: RP1170 Water ingress: IP65 with a breathable valve * Size: 165mm x 86mm x 40mm

This battery pack combines several COTS components to allow short production runs with manual assembly. All components are "though-hole" and the whole unit can be ordered and put together by any sufficiently skilled individual. It is not suitable for an automated PCBA process or large production runs.
