@Jomant
here is a braid series connection for you. this size braid is both overkill and very low profile
also, Thou Shall Not Cross Balance Leads
this is one hot tamale

Mmmm i love me some overkill build techniques

Looks awesome! Top mounting this somewhere?
Itās going in another resurrection of mine (children, cover your eyes, itās an e-bike) This one has a massive enclosure that used to carry a crapton of lead batteries. holy crap that battery was heavy 
. anyway the enclosure is so ginourmous that I could easily put double the lithium than what Iām doing now and it will not even weigh half as muchā:sleeping:
esk8 is hard!
I can put as much lithium ion as I want for once in my life without worrying about if it will fitš

I have dreams of doing an ebike lol, and being able to run wild with how much lithium I can fit in it

How may cells do you think youāll be able to fit in there? I have no idea how big the enclosure is but I know you can do like 250 cells in the space as a car battery or something
What size pack is in the tipo

Workng on my first battery, and using this diagram to guide me:
Iām using this auto fuse but Iām confused how to go about wiring it to the bms?
what do i do? cut the wire and the then I have 2 ends, where do I solder these to? Sorry for the noob shit, any help appreciated for this battery virgin, thanks

I have the same exact fuse and I just cut the wire in the middle and then soldered one end to the charge port negative and one end to the CH- port on the BMS.

Cut it close to the black on both sides, splice it into the positive line of your charge port on the battery side. The wire is a bitch to bend so make sure there is silicone wire on either side of it so it doesnāt get a stress fracture

12s8p 18650, I used some used cells that I had laying around. This is a test pack. They are 10amp cells. The plan is to replace them with 12s10p 30q. Will have to get a bit creative with the layout tho

Ah. Didnāt even know it could fit this many cells inside

Itās going to require a 1/4 gasket, maybe a bit smaller

check it out
makes the 16s6p look tiny. and the top half is almost as deep as the bottom. double stack, end to end, imagine that thing full, to the brim, lol.
16s20p? easy. I just need to see if the scooch is worth it or just a quick flippš¤«

thatās funny they sell it like that, but yeah just cut it and solder between the charge port and the C- (or P-) of the BMS. keeps that dinky lil charge port from shorting your battery to death. a 10 amp fuse would quickly blow if there was a problem and can handle most chargers with ample headroom

is there an easy way to test if a battery is real? Some guy local to me has 100 VTC6 18650s for sale at a tempting price ā¦
Set them on fire, better cells burn hotter

just what you can see from the surface? or performance testing?
pretty sure @Arzamenable has used something like this to test individual cells for capacity at higher discharge ratesā¦ i canāt find the one he has, so here is this poor substitute instead:
