New nickel came in! :partying_face:

We got an updated 4p shape (better fitment, slightly more cross-sectional area, longer slots for locating the positive terminal of your cells), a 6p shape, an 8p shape, and a 9p shape!

The 6p and 8p are designed to fit perfectly in all of our 21700 KitPCB’s, so you can seamlessly add more cells to the existing designs.

The 9p is designed to fit an upcoming 16s3p PCB :shushing_face:

To celebrate the arrival of this new nickel, our old nickel stock is on sale! We slashed our already low price for the 4p 18650 and 4p 21700, so we can move the stock and make room on the shelf for the new stuff.

The new shapes are all live (except the new 4p, which will take the place of the existing 4p when we sell out) at the links below:

Before anyone asks, yes these new shapes are pretty expensive. In case you didn’t hear, the global nickel market got hit by the now-universal COVID-related price hikes, and then inflation hasn’t helped. All that to say, raw nickel’s price shot through the roof, and all us battery builders are unfortunately feeling the effects. Our profit margins at DBS have NOT increased, because price gouging is super lame. And as always, if you are interested in purchasing any of our items in bulk, please reach out and we will be happy to discuss quantity discounts :grin:

Thanks for reading!
