New build

[Nightly_Paradox]

This box was originally purchased from an online vendor. Originally came with a DPDT switch to switch from series or parallel. Which I might add the switch ate about 1v! With having rewired my first build to series I decided to turn this strictly parallel. So the work begins!

Parts breakdown:
Reused the 510 connector
Reused the volt meter
Dual parallel IRLB3034PBF mosfets
Replaced fire switch with my Alpinetech switch
12k resistor
Keystone 1048 sled
6.3v 1000 microfard capacitor

High current sections use 14g solid core copper wire, low current sections use 22g stranded copper wire.

I'm not that technically proficient so I don't understand most of it, but good job.

Looks good, but i have to ask why the Cap? In a simple parallel Mosfet mod Ive never used them.

Simple criticism, but if you were to use a dremel or file you could cut a channel lower on the bottom edge of the sled and lay your lower jumper wire in it to keep it out of sight and make it look cleaner. Not that Im one to talk about wire management, my PWM mods always work good, but look like crap inside.

But it looks good. Real good.

At first that was my view on the cap until I decided to try it, from my observation since a capacitor acts as a small battery, that unleashes it's charge under load resulting in not that big of a voltage drop. In a low voltage setup like these every little bit you can do to cut down resistance in the wiring or provide a more consistent voltage helps. Imo.

I had wanted to do that with the negative wire on the cap but sadly enough I don't have a dremel or a file atm.

What exactly do you have the cap connected to?

 

[Nightly_Paradox]

The cap is connected to the battery sled.

So its just connected to the battery sled?

Hate to say it but that cap does absolutely nothing for you other than adding one thing that could go bad.
