Thanks, I got spoiled by fogstar and their 1gbp per m price, now everything seems expensive…
Should have bought 100m off them haha

I am almost certain that was a mistake, I have never seen it so cheap. That is like scrap value of nickel 
I bought way more than I needed off a fogstar because of this. Then they ran out pretty quick. lol

It’s still a pretty good deal from them. I recently ordered and it came in less then a week
7 different kinds of nickel and all pure

from the ali seller?
i like to buy my nickel in bigger quanitites, a kilo should be up to around 40-50$ hopefully he is willing to sell like that
i can’t find this graph of nickel strips their current rating, can someone post it here?

I think a little hot? But not unreasonable for sure
P.s. you gonna leave those hot terminals bare?

you refering to the negative terminals here? Should I rewrap them so the negative is more covered?
I think? he might be talking about the Kweld
Lol the kWeld…you got 12V about an inch apart, drop something on it and you might be in trouble

oh yeah, totally I need a case printed for mine–I don’t have a 3D printer so if anyone wants to go through the trouble I will compensate them for filament, time and shipping =)
can I see a photo??
so I’m planning on building a pack with a bunch of salvaged cells, but they are measuring mostly 2.5-3V. I know this is really low, but can I bring the voltage back up manually with these thingies:
and then build the packs when the voltage is back to a safe range (3.7ish)? Are there any risks involved with this method?
Or, alternatively, I was wondering If I could build p-groups with cells that are close in voltage, but have the p-groups themselves differing quite a bit in voltage, and then charge the p-groups? So for example, say i build a p-group with cells all around 2.6V, and then another group with cells around 2.85-2.9V, and then charge the whole p-groups up to be around 3.7V?
Not sure what the best route is here with salvaged cells, so lemme know what you think. I ordered some o those liitokala’s back in April from China so they ought to be getting here any day now.
Please be careful with salvaged cells though, I would say mix them so all parallel groups have equal capacitance and resistance
