Nvm I’m going back to smoking my weed.
Sorry, i don’t see why that is the most proper way
Same cell type maybe, but size makes no difference

more that it is better than putting a 10S2P in the board and through a long possibly sketchy cable running to a 10S10 up top, is the opposite extreme example of the advice I was trying to give.
When I make packs for this I also try to encourage making sure 1 pack can handle the entire current requirement of the ESC alone, just incase. That would warrant similar size on both in some cases

So, I definitely want to keep the same voltage. Let’s say I have a 18s6p in my enclosure and want a few extra miles, could I use a 18s4p on top or should I keep it as 18s6p in both batteries?

4P vs 6P sounds fine. I wouldn’t do like a 1P pack on top for example.

Anyone have rough dimensions on a 12s4p 21700 brick pack?
(I can do the cell dim math, but not sure how much to add for fishpaper, balance wires, etc etc)

I can’t help but wanted to understand what you are asking about, A Brick pack pack is with the cells standing? Like when you put them in pelican case?
Exactly. i.e.:

Is there a store in the US that sells replacement probes for malectics? Are there more durable alternatives than what it comes.with?

Ok new fuck up…
I was going through my welds re-welding them all to avoid anymore issue.
Go to that one cell and just after the weld, it started leaking some kind of liquid. What is that? I recon that must be a bad thing right?
I am running the malectric at 35ms and that must be the hundredth weld today.
Why didn’t it catch fire yet? I am kind of afraid to handle it.

Sunshine, rainbows, and a sprinkle of “please leave that cell alone now”.

I know, right… damn if I had a choice I wouldn’t DIY that shit. I’d love to know what went wrong with that one so i can prevent it from happening again 
I don’t think it smells anything. I don’t know maybe a bit like solder 🤷
Yeah I think that’s safer lol

Weird. The only time i’ve had a cell ooze it had a very distinctive smell.
Perhaps @Battery_Mooch may be able to comment
