Questions

How big is the Battery science PCB?

It measures 66.3 × 54.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Battery science use?

58 parts, built around the BQ76925PW and CAY16-101J8LF. 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 Battery science KiCad files?

From the MITEVT/opel_battery_science repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/battery_science.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Battery science design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MITEVT before reusing the design.
