This is a good option. Only other option I can think of is pm @acido who can get the 30q cells in europe (cheaper here) and he offers a spot welding service. get him to do the parallel welds for you and ship them to you. then you can do the bms and series connections yourself.
Mind is blown!!! That is a amazing price and form factor!! I have 2 questions that I will most likely be shunned for but I’m going to ask I’m going them get together shortly thank you so much for that.
@Les i see you already in good hands
30q are a good choice. Legit source of cells are nkon.nl, but they stopped shipping to US just recently. The US guys can tell you better for a trusted seller overseas.
If you look into building more than one pack it might be worth investigating in a spotwelder like the kweld or malectrics, but than your 250$ budget will not be enough.
If you don’t want to build more packs in future you might be good with what @b264 suggested or you go with nese modules which make assembly pretty easy and no spotwelding is needed.
Important note if you get into building your packs, read through our battery builders club thread.
And don’t hesitate to ask your questions there. Upload pictures while you in process of building and we always can give you advice if we think you on a wrong way.
Also, make sure you get pure nickel! Saltwater test your nickel strips is mandatory
Perfect! Yes my ESC looks to combine into one battery so one connects only and I just solder to my charger port the other thin wires and I am all set. Thank you so much ordering now.
That’s no problem will add a fuse connector to negative
charge wire solder up and put a Automotive Fuse 58V 7.5A in. Assuming that is just for additional protection.
Those batteries do have a bms I’m assuming. I’m measuring up my enclosure right now didn’t realize how long these were but think I can make it work.
Yeah I saw that it’s all good don’t wanna push it but that will really amp up my board and longer range. Considering all options. Thank you so much I am buying today no matter way I’m not passing up this deal.
Wow that is a pretty damn good deal… so now the question is do I buy two smaller batteries to swap with the lipo ones for a sleeker look but ability to swap back still or do I buy a big battery for a new build with new objectives? This raises more questions than it answers unfortunately
Done and done 258.74$ . Now I just need a new enclosure and the search begins thanks guys will send some pics of the build once I get it together and test it out of course. Thanx @b264 I really appreciate it the quick find
I want to run sk3 6364 170 kv motors with FOCBOXes and can’t decide if I want to replace the 4mm bullets on the motors w/ 5mm, or the 5mm bullets on the FOCBOXes w/ 4mm…What’s the smartest route here and why?
