Difference between pages "Hub or Mid drive" and "DIY-battery"

In general mid drives are better for steep hills while hub motors are better for flat terrain. There is actually two types of hub motor as well, direct drive and geared. Here is a more detailed pro and con list to help you decide. ==Direct drive hub motor pros:== *Ultra Low maintenance *Easy to install *Regen braking, Gain about 10% more range and reduce brake pad wear significantly. ==Dir...") |

Intent: This page is created as a guideline whether if assembling/designing your own battery pack is a viable option compared to buying a pre-made battery. Prerequisite software/knowledge (before building a pack)
Ability to draw 2D schematics/diagrams. - you need to do this if you are trying to make a pack with a certain dimension constraint. use of CAD is encouraged.
You know how to use the simulator - You need to know how much current your battery will be drawing.
Ohm's law. Since we are not going into AC power, complex number/angle is not needed.
Ability to read battery cell datasheet. - As the wiki page becomes older, more cell info will be added to the page; but for cells that are not on this wiki/internet in a simplified format, reading datasheet will be necessary.
