Another thing I can do for you all which is what I am doing for @psychotiller which is to spot weld the entire pack together and run all of the balance terminals and main lead terminals and heat shrink it up and ship it out. This way they are much cheaper and you can choose if you want to ad a bms or voltage meter.
A battery pack using 40 Samsung cells is priced at 250 bucks plus shipping for just this method of production. You can change it using a lipo charger
I think for the european market you should look for someone else.
Maybe @elkick (esk8.de)?
He is from Germany and as they make batteries i am sure they will do something custom if you ask nicely.
Just wondering why the addition of the BMS is that much more? I already have 30pcs of LG 3000mah cells that I want to try to make into a SPACE cell. How much would it cost to do just wire everything up like enertion’s SPACE cell ? Thanks!
It would cost the price of your cells + spot welder price + nickel strip + wire.
If your cells are 200 USD (estimate) it is about $150 for a spot welder and 50 for nickel strip and wire. Around 400 but then the next build you make will cost $250 USD or less because you already have the spot welder.
Thanks! but I wanted to send you the cells to spot weld, misc hardware, basically everything a Space Cell has. Any estimations? You can PM if necessary! Or I can try it on my own and blow myself up LOL!
so how much are we talking about here if we can provide our own cells to the custom battery builders? I just don’t think I’ll have the time to figure it all out on my own. Best to leave it to you pros! I think we can get cells for about $130-150 (30cells), additional hardware and labor? I’m in California.
