Thinking out loud here,
splitting the pack in to a 8S4P and a 2S4P could be doable with some printed cell holders
To bad this config doesn’t work, would have been nice.
10S3P seems to be the easy way out here… mucho space for everything
Finally opted for the more chanllenging split pack. One pack is 8S4P and the second one is 2S4P. This will allow me to have clerance in the openings for the LCD screen, power button and charge port.
I got lazy and didn’t print cell holders, just taped them together before wiring them up

What happened to your nickel band? Looks burnt or something?
I only had this nasty brown flux to solder with. Nothing is burned
Oh right. Excellent job on the battery.
Nice. Would you mind to share the stl. file for your VESC and capacitor holder? Pretty awesome and well done 
great to see some innovations

That looks solid ! See, this is how VESCs should be delivered, it looks sturdy and the capacitors are protected.
looks super high tech inside there! love it!

That is just some beautiful work. WOW!! That dual VESC mount is a really practical solution! Props dude!
Thanks guys, the big piece of the puzzle here is the bms. It’s a nice Esk8 intergrated solution, with the help of @onloop.
it offers plenty of standalone features. Like CC-CV charging (constant current, constant voltage), over current protection, short circuit protection, UV and OV protection, balanced charging and a individual cell bleeding circuit in case of OV.
Usb output for charging a remote and programming the vesc. Soft start button with a momentary switch and onboard 60A fuse.
This is the first working prototype, i still have a few bugs to iron out. I’ve done enough lab tests to deam it road worthy.

Really cool work there.
This place holder for VESCS and capacitors is just epic. Great work !!! What kind of on/off switch do you use ? Isn’t it the same switch that Torqueboards and Enertion had problems with in their battery packs ? . …hmmm…wait a second…is it the BMS that onloop showed in one of his videos ?
Where did you get those nickle strips? I can’t find them anywhere!

Hello this is a nice holder you have here.
Did you ever uploaded ? If so can you give me the link 
Actually no haven’t uploaded it. Wasn’t satisfied with the layout, i’m still playing around with it.
Could send it to you if you want though
That will be very nice
