This would be running them in parallel, correct?

It’s always a bad thing to solder cells. If you don’t have access to a spot welder, I advise you to consider making a compression pack. That has the added benefit of being able to swap pairs of charged cells in and out for unlimited play time :sunglasses:

aka something like a nese pack for 2 cells?

Exactly. If you have access to a 3d printer, you can make a compression pack that uses anything conductive as your tabs. Or you could do @Winfly compression packs, which are a little more permanent but are cheaper to make.

i do have a printer but i doubt i have the necessary tools to connect everything inside the pack(tabs, nuts etc)

I’m also somewhat impatient and want it done.:smiley: The cells are nothing special, nor are they new. I removed them from an old powerbank so they were already welded

If you want I can spot weld 2 new Samsung 30q cells together in parallel and send them to you. Have some spare cells left form a battery pack, always purchasing 2 cells more just in case.
Just for the cost of the cells, nothing else :wink:

What hose system are you using to get it to stand on its own like that?

It has one of those adjustable metal bendy things down the side.

Where’d you buy that? Or was it salvaged from something else?

Basically mostly salvaged parts. The only thing I bought was the hose. The adjustable thing was from an old pop filter stand. The light bar was from a cheap desk lamp. Everything else I designed and printed.

Carbon/hepa filter I already had.

Slide some silicone sleeving from 8awg stripped wires on those alligator clips. That way they won’t puncture the wire they’re holding ^^
(Much better than heat shrink)
