The battery builders club

Its probably not absolutely necessary to put fish paper there, but I did. Can’t ever be too safe. I agree with the statement that there could be a bit more solder, especially on lower right joint but tbh it looks good to me.

Also you could probably just round the corners off with the laser no? Maybe instead of cutting a roll of nickel, a plate of it? I can see that it’s probably really wasteful and so it might not a super viable option.

what fishpaper do you guys think is best? where do you buy it?

145ptags.com, or their amazon page.

The adhesive backed stuff is convenient.

I need help I’ve got some money for a real enclosure (pelican ruck R40 case for my flipshit dual 6.6) and solder wire but i’m thinking should I also get some 20 to 30 AWG silicone wire for future projects, I already have black/red 10AWG wire. If I should get some what size (that is pretty much universal) should I go with ?

Universal for what purpose? :thinking:

Leads for p groups on a BMS? 24 is pretty standard.

Pack wires? 10 if you are in kinda nuts, 12 is pretty reasonable for most pack leads and serial connections.

8awg sucks to work with.

@glyphiks mostly for DIY stuff

and now another battery pack in line of sight lol.

i’ll go with 24 for now and buy more of bigger/smaller when I get more money (also might be usefull in my future work toolbox lol)

thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Strangest pack to date boys…

Might have been able to put the two cells end-to-end (pos-to-pos or neg-to-neg) up at the top there…

But yeah, unfortunate geometry.
