DIY Mod build Q&A.

[TylerD]

So I have bought the DIY dual parallel box mod kit from Kieran.

I want to start with the box, and I had a few questions that I googled and came across.

I know there's some guys that have finished their boxes. Please can you give some tips and info to us newbs.

I think we can use this thread for Q&A as to this matter and also all videos for diy boxes.

This was quite informative.




Please feel free to add anything.

If it uses the mosfet as active switch, I will gladly assist.

Wiring very neat, but suggest to make all paths as short as possible to reduce voltage drop

He added the mosfet later on.
Thanks @johan , your help will be very appreciated!
I want to keep this as safe as possible.

Even better is the template for cutting the holes.

I have conversed with Al USAF via email concerning that mosfet box mod of his and he's very helpful and will answer your questions. He's a very nice guy. He knows what he's doing.

Why does he use 2 mosfet chips? more safe that way?

Lower voltage drop at very high current.

Great thread thanks guys!

Lol I just watched that whole 2 hour vi very well made I really want to build a mod like this just not that good with a soldering iron...

By stacking mosfets you can up the amp load it can carry. The one shipped with the kit handles 260A. I don't think you need more than that seeing as 160A is probably as close to madness you can build if you use VTC5's at there absolute limit, which I wouldn't recommend.
