First of all, my lipos are brand new (they all tested perfect on capacity)
And the board I’m looking at has fuses on each balance connector set and one for the xt60

Google strix bardwell balance board, a few places have them and they have different models for different S counts. It’s got fuses that automatically reset, basically protection features for everything it seems and it’s a very marginal increase in price.

Hadn’t thought of this, great idea Zack. I think I’ll make half into a power bank and the other half into a test pack.

Do you have a link for the magnets I need a few
Please forgive my shoddy welds, but do you guys think I should redo some of these welds? I didn’t do a good job of cutting the nickel to size, and was wondering if the nickel could short with the casing for the cells on the edges of each pack (or if it’s fine) :

I would use silicone-insulated copper wire for any series connections that are going to be flexing or vibrating. For some parallel connections and non-flex series connections, copper braid is okay imho

I did some work with copper and as long as you can get it to play nice it works really well. Just make sure the braid doesn’t get saturated

Surgical clamps work wonders from what I’ve experienced but I’m pretty sure you knew.
The braids work fine in flexy packs, just as long as they are horizontal like in your packs, not vertical.
