Anton Bauer Dionic 90's- to re-cell or purchase new batteries?

[John Ritter]

I would be interested to know if John can re-cell Dionic 90s with the cells used in Dionic HC bricks to get a higher current draw out of them.

 

Even though the cells are essentially the same in the Dionic 90 & HC there are slight chemical make up differences in the cells.

The make up of cells(or individual cell potential capacity) into cell banks required will determine the final load handling and capacity,

In all packs the greatest possible potential will vary under different loads (higher the load the lower the capacity)

 

The AB - HC & HCX series packs have a redesigned case and cell carrier to more efficiently aid in the heat convection/dissipation as heat becomes

a major issue under high load conditions.

The safety control circuit boards and wiring is also changed (beefed up) to allow for greater current handling.

The HCX improves on the HC with additional cells for longer run-time (both use identical cells)

 

The original Dionic 90 is limited to a max load by temperature/circuit controls & wire size of the design, Cells with greater capacity can be installed (longer run time will be realized)

But the load handling/limit still cannot be exceeded.

This due to the case design and the close nesting of the individual cells so heat generation is a major factor.

You will notice the Dionic 90 packs will get very warm under high loads, and can shut down on internal temperature sensors. (they also will not charge if they are overheated)

always allow a cool down period after heavy use. (overload circuit breaker will trip at around 6 amps or less depending on temperature i.e. higher temp lower amp trip

 

Over the last few years there have bee major improvements in the same size cell capacity ratings from all of the major cell manufactures (Panasonic/Sanyo, Samsung, LG)

This is why the increase in run-time is possible. The load handling will still be limited by the OEM case design and electronic safety circuitry.

 

A great big THANK YOU! to all the great testimonial feedback from everyone.
