DRI 12S4P 18650 Kit Service

Hey all, thought I would offer this up since people seem hungry for packs.
Service for US only, I’m in NYC if you wanna pickup.

$100 + ship to assemble a 12S4P VTC5A with a compact or flexpcb and cells from DRI, I will provide 5.5x2.5 or 5.5x2.1 charge port, can add fuse holder and 2 fuses for $5.

The only thing missing from that is a bms which you can get from @kevingraehl. I can leave it without BMS just pinned leads and you can plug in yourself.

Just need to order a comprehensive PCB kit of your choice and 48 cells and ship to me.

Many thanks to @DerelictRobot for making the PCB kits.

that’s perfectly fine, I did the same
$1/ cell though barely covers material cost 🤷

Oh, I meant $1 per for time…then $1 per cell for basic materials, then add cost of cells and BMS and shipping/fees/insurance
