Guys I am building my first battery, the picture I uploaded is just to make sure I am using the right cells, are those everyone recommends, or are there different versions of the 30Q?
Thanks

that´s right, but
same cell non the less 
you can also get them with nickle taps on and with custom heat shrink. still the same cell 
getting a couple boxes, fuck it.
if anyone needs smaller quantities, i’ll list them in my store for $4.2 a piece + shipping.

I will place an order at www.queenbattery.com.cn
Here a quote I received from them
SAMSUNG INR21700-48G 10A 4800mAh battery cell
Quotation :3.5usd/pcs
Maybe there is an interest in other cells and we can order together.
Shipping will be to 90058 via Fedex.

Ordered from IMR never had problems and when I ordered they were actually cheaper than Nkon.

For comparison
https://www.imrbatteries.com/samsung-48g-21700-4800mah-4-8a-battery/
$8/cell. 48G is discontinued at liionwholesale, and not listed at nkon.
Did they quote you on shipping?
What cells did you buy? 30q cells are almost a full dollar more on imr.

How hard are you running the vescs? These cells get pretty warm at 10a cont
so $1.08 shipping per cell, which makes it $4.58/cell – still much better than $8 (which doesn’t include shipping), and this is in a built pack.
Definitely interesting! But getting quotes back and forth, ick.
The build pack is 350usd/pack
830 USD incl. shipping for two packs 10S6P
6,92 USD per cell
3.5usd per cell if you take the single cell + shipping
