Motor and Battery Ventilation

[Coninsan]

Hello

Been wondering..

Now that i have to make by own motor plate, should i make ventilation wholes in it
for the motor coils and is it of big importance?

Also Ed's non BMS build gave me an idea for battery packaging, basicly we cant use a
welder in our GSXR project anymore, so we have to do something els. Maybe
Aluminium profile like GUFF.

The idea is to place all of our TS cells in one big pack, it possible, encase it in a
custom made platic box and make it totally waterproof, with only the BMS wires and
Charge wires sticking out. Planning on using the bike, rain or shine.

Which leeds me to the question, does a TS pack need ventilation?

for a moto, I think you'll want to vent it some, there's a fan that pulls air through the motor, but you need to have the end open for it to work. We'll be adding venting to mine.
