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 it’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 I’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 doesn’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 US…

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. It’s going to double as the ebike battery.
@Skyart what are yours going in?

ok… why the fukk can’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 BMS’s suck…
ok that guy shamus … he has his flexi-flyer BMS with usb…can-fukking-bus, he’s been developing for like 2 years, it’s really small and really trik… but why doesn’t he design us a k00l simple balance only BMS while we await his perfection… we have all these app bluetooth BMSs why can’t we just have a cheep…reliable…SMALL BMS…

that’s what I want for XMAS @Grozniy make it so next year

nah… I’m talking one of those guys who knows his shit… on this board somewhere…
design us a simple BMS…
if we were to do a group buy of like a 100 50 10s 50 12 of a small bullet-proof BMS I’ll bet we could buy them at like 5 bux and they would live forever
