Are cells okay to use is the head and tail are slightly dented from pull off tabs?

Any advice on using a dremel to clean cells?

Dremeling cells is easy, but you should buy new shrink wrap for each one first since itā€™s easy to destroy the wrap. Careful to keep them from shorting when you remove the wrap

Unused a stone wheel and it worked beautifully, it also makes them very easy to solder to

Yeah Iā€™m using a stone grinder bit. A conical shaped one so I can get really precise and not hit the wrap. Okay just wanted to check thanks!

Just wrapped up 130 cells. That took way long than I thought it would.

Could someone recommend a cheap amazon BMS? I need something fast. It doesnā€™t have to be long term, as I plan to replace it with something decent later on.

I have D140 12s in stock right now in the USā€¦

That being said, are BMS like these junk?

I am using one of these successfully in my 10s4p meepo battery, after a few charge cycles it charges my board to 100%! And 42 volts. This is great because I built the pack out of used cells that were fairly close in voltage, but deffiently needed balancing

Dope! What deck is that going on/in? These things are soooooo huge!

Top mount mbt. Almost nothing else that will be able to use it. Itā€™s going to double as the ebike battery.
@Skyart what are yours going in?

okā€¦ why the fukk canā€™t we have a simple 10s and 12s, small, cheep, no discharge, balance only at 4.15 volts 10s @8amp (i only use 4) and 12s @10amp (I only use 8)

we got all this cool shit but our BMSā€™s suckā€¦
ok that guy shamus ā€¦ he has his flexi-flyer BMS with usbā€¦can-fukking-bus, heā€™s been developing for like 2 years, itā€™s really small and really trikā€¦ but why doesnā€™t he design us a k00l simple balance only BMS while we await his perfectionā€¦ we have all these app bluetooth BMSs why canā€™t we just have a cheepā€¦reliableā€¦SMALL BMSā€¦

thatā€™s what I want for XMAS @Grozniy make it so next year

nahā€¦ Iā€™m talking one of those guys who knows his shitā€¦ on this board somewhereā€¦
design us a simple BMSā€¦
if we were to do a group buy of like a 100 50 10s 50 12 of a small bullet-proof BMS Iā€™ll bet we could buy them at like 5 bux and they would live forever
