Thanks! It lets me get away with thin nickel. I’ll use it to make modular packs in a little while

I’d add fishpaper here (primarily under the folded tabs), since the corners of the folded tabs go over the fishpaper rings and might short if they pierce through the wrap.

They won’t ever fold down there? That’s the final position, it will wrap like this

But I’m not sure I can get anything under there anyways…The fold is too rigid to move anywhere

I hope it will never happen but imagine an impact on the tabs corner. I’m ultraparanoid, don’t listen to me, might never be a problem :smiley:

Not exactly…you wanna buy this but in the notes you specify that you want it to be a 12s 43.2V BMS and you get one of them

why do the red bms mfgs hate us lol.

Ah dickyho’s got us covered

In other news, I bought this for nickel. I was using tin snips with a serrated edge before.

100% deucesdown approved so far. Seki City in Japan is kind of a cutlery capital, I guess kind of like Solingen Germany. If you’ve heard of it, VG10 (stainless “super” steel) is only available to you if you have a factory in Seki.

These are pretty cheap though, so we’ll see how it holds up.

You paid $21 for some fancy garden shears?

$21 is quite cheap for good quality tools young man. A lifetime of pleasure lol.

Holy fuck that’s a hell of a price tag

PM dickyho. Right now might not be a great time since I believe epacket delivery has been halted in HK. But he’s cheaper than anything on ebay.
