Questions

How big is the Cell Balancer PCB?

It measures 118 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cell Balancer use?

14 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Cell Balancer KiCad files?

From the ARTS-Laboratory/SPARC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is variations/Camden/V0.2.2/software/KiCad/Cell_Balancer.kicad_pcb and its schematic variations/Camden/V0.2.1/software/KiCad/Cell_Balancer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cell Balancer design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
