Do you have a source of pure nickel from Ali or similar? Usually I buy from nklon but of I am not going to take the battery then no sense to pay more in shipping than in nickel strips.

Nothing from Ali man. I get mine from ebay UK from his guy. I dont build enough batteries to buy 1 kilo and doesnt seem worth the risk for little saving. I bought 2 times from him and was 100% both times.

try endless sphere. there must be a few links there

perfect thanks.

are you going for the liitokalas then?

I am gonna order 80 myself soon. need to make 2 x 10s4p for me and a friend.

yeh same 80 for 16s5p battery. I will wait to receive the info about the space available in the escooter. Then mode in FUsion to make sure they will fit. Otherwise would be silly :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Alreday ordered 14s and 16s bms. Just in case I go 14s at the beginning since the stock ESC is 48V and new 20s ESC are not ready yet.
Except for Alien https://alienpowersystem.com/shop/esc/ev-esc/alien-200a-3-16s-evolution-3-esc-hv-sensored/ but only found few video about it. Need to dig more.

hehe good luck. BTW, I made this little chart a few weeks ago. Thats how I ended with the liitokalas. The samsng 40t and 30q pricing is from fogstar thread. The lifepo4 cells are just too little energy density.

yeh made all the simulation
the other are close to 360Euro each. Too much.

Just replace your B circuit breaker to a C circuit breaker

Just in case you need another option, the SONY VTC5A might work. By all accounts, the guy is legit. hes in poland I think.

Might end up 4wd so it should be a fun ride

Yeh already checked them. Of the liitokalas are good then is unbeatable the price point. Even the high discharge one at 30A sounds amazing at that price.

I am renting the place plus of the electric panel I only see the mechanical switch I should open it completely to access to the fuse.
Which spot welder are you using?

lol 80a.
You can build another pack to charge the original pack and it’ll charge in 5 minutes XD

Just open it. Loose the screws plug out the B circuit breaker and plug in a c circuit breaker.

I am using a Sunkko but don’t know the model at this moment.

Sunkko will be good and I an save a bit.


So you say to open this one and change the circuit breaker?

Here the inside

Yeps. Just go to a “doe het zelf zaak” and buy a c circuit breaker and replace it with the one you want to use.
