🧠 Engineering Excellence
Every pack is spot-welded using solid nickel and copper busbars for low resistance and minimal voltage sag.
The tight-frame construction improves heat dissipation and cell longevity – unlike packs with loose internal air space that trap heat like double-pane glass.
A temperature-protected BMS maintains cell balance and prevents over-charge, over-discharge, and thermal runaway.
This pack delivers consistent power output and long-term stability under intense conditions.
