Its a swiftech pump from jab-tech. The pump was $70. Kinda expensive but works great so far. Do NOT run it dry AT ALL!

Nice unit, Whats the brand of pump and where did you get it at?

The 120mm rad I have is more than enough to keep the cell cool enough. I ran it for a few hours to see how it would do and it never got above 125 deg.. Thanks for the info though.

If you plan on putting your cell in a vehicle you should consider a transmission oil cooler in front of the vehicle radiator which has a fan that runs all the time OK most of the time your vehicle is running. They are larger and a build to for the vibration you'll see on the road.

This was a test run, but I do need a pwm. since I dont know how to make one Im going to buy one. Ive had a few offers from people to build me one. As far as the neutral plates I didnt have any luck with them. The +--+ works pretty good.

cool cell but for its size you might want to try a pwm to control your amps. more neutral plates help also. Interested in the O2 idea.Keep up the good work

I actually used 1 2/3 sheets of the steel in the constrution, not all 3. |
