This would be running them in parallel, correct?
Yep
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
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. 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
@xsynatic
What hose system are you using to get it to stand on its own like that?
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.
Dude for 3$ they are great
Dont even want to replace them with something fancier, even drilled one and screwed it down to the table so it cant move haha
Lol I have the same ones
The one with a baseplate with xt30/60/90 holder is even better
Would love to get my hands on these! There was something similar on hobbyking but always out of stock.
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)
