My cells are on the way OH YEAH! I started a build thread for the pack.

@longhairedboy I’m counting on you to show me where to get nickel strips and superworms.

longhairedboy · April 1, 2016, 4:25pm

22 awg superworms for balance leads: http://amzn.com/B01C5DBKW6

8mm wide nickel strips for 18650 and 26650 packs: http://amzn.com/B019QCB8V2 Also check ebay for this there may be somebody closer than china

10S balance plug with pig tails and 22 awg silicone leads leads that aren’t really long enough but that’s ok because you can get more 22 awg two links up: http://amzn.com/B00UY2Q2CO

plus you can get a good BMS and charger from batterysupports.com

charger: http://www.batterysupports.com/36v-42v-5a-lithium-ion-battery-charger-10s-10x-36v-lion-lipo-p-166.html

bms i’ll probably get: http://www.batterysupports.com/36v-37v-42v-10s-60a-10x-36v-lithium-ion-lipolymer-battery-bms-p-267.html

and shrink tubing is definitely on ebay, and there are plenty of different sizes for different pack configurations. Most is from china and hong kong, not seeing much stateside.

You have amzon referral links?!

longhairedboy · April 1, 2016, 7:03pm

no i don’t have referral links. Those are shortcodes from the Share menu. Also, i ended up buying most of this crap from ebay anyway since its all coming from china.

And something is up with batterysupports.com, they can’t seem to take payment at the moment on either their own site or on their ebay store. hopefully they get it fixed soon.

treenutter · April 1, 2016, 8:02pm

@longhairedboy noooo! they were my go-to for a BMS and charger! Thanks for the other pieces of the shopping puzzle!

Ulfberht · April 1, 2016, 8:07pm

Done deal! I"m all payed up and ready to rock!!

cmatson · April 2, 2016, 3:24am

of course my PayPal account gets locked because of security breaches right when I got to pay for my cells…

The invoice won’t disappear if I can’t pay for them today or tomorrow, will it? I’d hate to put the transaction on my credit card since I already have way to much money in my Paypal account…

denton · April 2, 2016, 6:42am

Is it too late to get in on this?

JLabs · April 2, 2016, 9:42am

Pm me and with it info and I will try. I am not sure if they will allow it or not but shed me ur info

cmatson · April 2, 2016, 2:25pm

Super stoked for this battery

barajabali · April 2, 2016, 2:39pm

When do you guys think wel get them. I’d bet like 7 days

denton · April 2, 2016, 4:33pm

I just sent you my info. Thank you!

JLabs · April 3, 2016, 12:04am

It’s USPS ground so it should be less than 2 weeks (California)

Ulfberht · April 4, 2016, 7:17am

Thanks brutha!! Nice to know what’s going on with it. Now I gotta scramble to get all the other parts I need. LOL

cmatson · April 4, 2016, 4:09pm

My cells shipped! looking forward to this

treenutter · April 4, 2016, 4:24pm

OMG my cells arrive today! I didn’t think it would be that fast! Whoop whoop!

longhairedboy · April 4, 2016, 4:30pm

i don’t think mine have even shipped yet.

longhairedboy · April 4, 2016, 4:46pm

I might get this. I want to eventually build more packs and this guy has a 1 year warranty and will work with the roll of nickel strip i got from ebay. It would make building packs quicker.

@longhairedboy I had the same issue so wrote to battery supports to see if they are aware of the problem. I’ll let you know when\if I hear back… it’s not a great sign that they aren’t able to accept payment. Payment is sorta important for a business I think. I hope they didn’t go under.
