The battery builders club

I had no problem doing that for over 2 years

25 / -10 battery, 55 / -45 motor. Do not expect any level of decent customer service if they break. Do not short them at all ever, don’t run detection on shorted motors or exposed bullets that might accidentally touch, and don’t leave them in the heat shrink, they need to breath.

I had mine come in from fogstar about a month ago and this was the wrap mine came in. not the ones @Halbj613 got, so I guess something changed (Brexit related? )since then for them to now have to be rewrapped.

Interesting. I had some arrive this week. Maybe I will check them tomorrow and see if they are the same.

those are cigarette lighter level warnings on them. Something stupid must have happened involving lawyers. But re-wrapped cells would make me nervous because there is legit thievery happening out there.

What @longhairedboy said. Those are the factory wraps. The ones sold by Fogstar have the required info on them for sale in the UK (maybe the EU too).

While the potential for frakkery is there with rewrapped cells I would trust Fogstar. They are a great vendor.

Is the original wrap underneath the rewrap? Seems like a fuckton of work to rewrap bulk cells. Imagine that was your job :dizzy_face:

how would you say it’s going right about now

insurance…

I didn’t beta test his customer service, factory QC, ethics, or distribution. The beta unit is in one of my boards right now. Still running. The one in that video.

I don’t know if Fogstar did this but you can often order cells w/o wraps for that very reason (if you can meet the MOQ). :grin:

They have superhero wraps. And you can even get your own printed. I want to get some sparkly wraps to make the sickest most beautiful pack ever one day.

i told some people my order was taking forever. I swear to god that’s all I said. If i was him, I’d probably be mad too tho because dude had his wife out in the shop making phase leads and soldering and shit so i know they were super serious about it.

Fair complaint, and its also fair for a two-person operation like that to hit delays under massive demand. No bad guy here as far as I can see.

I’ve seen some pretty wild rainbow/glitter wraps around somewhere. These guys have some fun ones too: https://www.odbwraps.com/
