18650 group buy

How true is that claim?

Heat will have an effect for sureā€¦I seen a guy with cooling spray after he welds ā€¦ Not a bad ideaā€¦it was in a can

Oh he also said to use a high watt soldering ironā€¦to have the solder melt quick as not to heat the battery up

No soundā€¦but seems like how a person would do it at homeā€¦ I like his steps

This dude is using sleds for 3s but you could apply it to a larger packā€¦hence no soldering of the actual battery and if you set it up right ā€¦ You can pop out a bad cell if it goes badā€¦

Just an idea @barajabali

anyone know the best type of flux for soldering 18650 cells?

The :sob: Crying and Explaing :grin:

Know it well :weary:

Thatā€™s the reason I used sleds for my 10s4p

Did you have any issues? How abt space?

space is the same as spot welding length and width wise, its about 4mm taller because of the sleds. so far i have not been able to do a real test because the first time i rode it my esc broke off my board and a solder joint broke and shorted a transistor out.

Ugh frustrating ā€¦ Hope you get to re-do and it worksā€¦

Oh and by the way

Come onā€¦everyone thought u were a hot chick ā€¦ On an electric skateboard lol

All good ā€¦ We still love you lol

So do you think it would be a possibility to have a 3D printed sled that you could use on a boardā€¦with the functionality of being able to swap out batteries or groups of sleds? Your thoughts?

just made a thread about my current build.

I got the email and i paid for it. OMG iā€™m so pumped about building this pack. Its going to stomp everything.

now to nickel strips and charger and more superworm wire.

I hope you clowns are going to build these and bring them down to orlando in may. Thereā€™s a ride happening on those sick ass trails that iā€™m always testing my boards on.
