Following up on last night. @bkennedy027 is completely right with his assessment of the carbon as a -ive earth system. A 30cm carbon strip lost its structural integrity pretty quickly when a sacrificial lipo was shorted at both ends to simulate big current. . Different forums also describe other problems such as galvanic corrosion as an issue. A tin-foil-hat idea, but was fun to try. So forget I mentioned it and lets move on.
@maxem I believe a very valid point. Though as drone batteries, I can see why they came like this for RC drone application. If the factory is minting them for us and they are open to custom orders, perhaps next time they could install heavier gauge discharge wire for round 3 and beyond. The 10AWG they currently come with looks a bit err… thin for this application.
I am curious with @Pdwhite setup in the video running the 2 x Bonkas. How hot do the battery wires get once you land?
I also take my hat off to @etienne who has gone straight to the ‘pro-build’ option and can parallel up as many discharge cables as needed and side-step this whole issue: If there is one.
Look forward to receiving the unit and having some actual data to work with.
