New battery cells

if you have to actively cool cells, it is a sign that the cells are not suitable for this setup.

I agree with this, I’ll attempt to show you my train of thought.

@bratwurst

my posting in facebokk refers to pure thermal concepts with 9 kilowatts of starting power and are mainly used with a maximum of 6 kilowatts in the climb or with 3 kilowatts in the level.
the concept is the apco kitto with a folding propeller without a cage and a 15 S / 10 P battery.

So I understand from this that you believe that 150 of these cells in a 15s10p configuration is capable of 9kW starting power, 6kW climb, and 3kW level. We will be using a bigger battery with 264 of these cells in a 24s11p configuration. To me this means that without cooling we can pull about 16kW starting, 10.5kW climb, and over 5kW level. I feel like this is good enough performance that we could fly entirely without cooling. For me the cooling is more for idiot proofing and prolonging battery life rather than allowing us to push the battery to the limit.

Once again the plan is to provide a second battery option with high current cells for people who will push their battery harder.
