Hey all, thought I would offer this up since people seem hungry for packs.
$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.
