FULLY ASSEMBLED RACE-READY POWER MODULE

DESTRUCTIVE HEAT LOADS COME FROM: HAND SOLDERING

When you solder with a traditional soldering iron you risk distorting the plastic vent under the positive battery terminal. This can cause the battery to fail under a load. The result of solder related damage is evident in the picture. This was the 19th run on this $80.00 pack soldered with an 80 watt soldering iron. The vent blew and the pack ( and race) was finished for this Associated FT TC-3. Don't cook these expensive batteries with a big nasty soldering iron! Our patent pending High Frequency Skin Effect Soldered packs remain free from assembly related damage.

INCREASED SOLDERING SPEED AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE

Our purpose in this study was to determine the speed at which various soldering irons would heat the same load. We set each soldering iron to an idle tip temperature of 700 degrees Fahrenheit . Each soldering iron was stabilized.

Once stabilized, the soldering iron was applied to the thermal load. The temperature of each load was raised from 78 to 448 degrees Fahrenheit, the correct temperature for high quality solder connection using 63/37 eutectic solder.

When the load reached 448 degrees Fahrenheit, the soldering iron was moved another load and the process was repeated 10 loads were finished. The time to bring all 10 loads to 448 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded.

At 700 degrees Fahrenheit, the Fusion system soldered 73% faster than the best competitor and 273% faster than the worst. Keep in mind that all competitive systems were high quality solder stations costing $275 or more!


 

LOW RESISTANCE = HIGH CURRENT

   Our 1.15 cells deliver more power than hand soldered 1.17's!

WHEN VOLTAGE IS LOW RESISTANCE IS KING!

Power and Speed are Developed from Current Available to Your Motor. When Voltage is Low, Resistance is King! 

Resistance Plays a Much Greater Role Than The Small Variation of Voltages Between 1.15 and 1.18 Volts. A difference of 1/10 of an Ohm in the overall resistance of your battery pack can mean the loss of 50% of current available to your motor.

The ability to deliver current on demand is perceived as "Punch" when you squeeze the throttle. As voltage drops or resistance climbs the car runs more flat, until the pack finally dumps and your race is over.

1/10 of an ohm from the soldering of the bars and terminals in your pack is like doubling the internal resistance of your batteries. Solder is made from lead and tin which are 8% and 15% (respectively) as conductive as silver (the most conductive metal).

JUST A BIT TOO MUCH SOLDER OR AN IMPERFECT JOINT AND A BATTERY CAPABLE OF DELIVERING OVER 70 AMPS TO YOUR MOTOR IS CUT TO LESS THAN HALF OF THAT AMOUNT!
