Maybe he’s going the stooge route. Either way I’m down to help.

So it seems as though the quantity breaks are based on the quantity of each individual cell type that I order, not off of the whole order in general, which is lame.
That means the cells that fewer people are interested in may not be as steeply discounted.

I think we all need to come to an agreement that if we are building 10-14s builds use p42a and anything over 18s might aswell use 50e unless doing low p count. I dont know why we are even buying anything else at this point. The 50e, I feel like we should only be using p42a

There are certain applications where for space reasons I feel like 18650’s are still alright
But other than that, either 40T for maximum punch or 42a for max energy density/power ratio

Even at 18S I personally still see virtually no argument for storage cells to be used in esk8. I considered writing a whole thread about this, still might, but essentially this Top Gear test of an M3 vs a Prius comparing MPG’s is the thesis to my argument.
According to our lord and saviors data, Mooch:
In the Samsung 50E test
Total energy delivered down to 3.2V at 10A continuous = 12.2Wh
In the Molicel P42A test
Total energy delivered down to 3.2V at 10A continuous = 12.4Wh
So, based on those load measurements, if you run a storage cell board as hard as you can and just follow along with an equivalent P42A board the P42A board will have more range. And has a ton more power on tap like the M3 in the video. That being said, I haven’t built an 18S board before so there is definitely some nuance the math can’t account for.

I mean the fact of the matter is that sometimes people don’t ride that hard, and in that case I feel like the larger storage cell might have the advantage.

under like prob 8p i doubt 50e is worth it maybe once you start getting to really high p counts its possible to consider
@BenjaminF please subtract my vote for the Molicel P26A 18650 for 100-149. I was scrolling back up and wasn’t paying attention. sorry.

No… $31 for shipping that includes insurance worth $700.
Which, all things considered, isn’t that bad imo.
only peasants use 50E, i use 35E

No worries. This thread is just to feel out interest. There will be a proper order form if/when I decide to move forward with this. Thanks for letting me know though 
BTW, I haven’t put the amount of cells I plan to order on this form because I am still working that out. But I hope to be able to order a few hundred P42A and P26A for customs, and possibly a bunch of those other cells as well.
I’m willing to ship without insurance upon request, but only if the buyer agrees to absolve me of any liability for a lost shipment. In my opinion, it’s not worth saving a couple dollars so I default to always shipping with full insurance.
