  1. Common terminology and fundamental ideas
    What is Series
    What is Parallel
    Cell Specifications (size, discharge, charge)
    Nominal voltage and charge/discharge practice
    Servicing your battery

  2. Is it worth it? Understanding the options
    Risk assessment
    Compression
    Lipo
    NESE
    Prebuilt

  3. Planning your pack
    Size and weight

    Layout

  4. Ordering cells
    Reputable sellers

  5. Sticking your cells together
    Silicone vs Hot glue
    Insulating using Fishpaper and Kapton

  6. Spot welding vs Soldering
    PCB’s
    Copper Braid
    Nickel braid

  7. Always use (battery) protection
