Looking buy or have built a 10s4p or something close to it battery
Lipo/li-ion?
for liion, take vtc5a, vtc6 or q30 cells. I prefer the vtc5a. I would not recommend lipo anymore because they alwaaaays start sag voltage after time.
Liion is the way to go, for me.
I have no experience with lipos but from what i read they only sag if they have a low C rating (like 20 - 30c for example). Not sure if you’ll notice that much sag with 65c Graphenes for instance.
my experience is even with high end 50c lipos after the 30th ride they start to sag at 60% and start to lose capacity. I put them in storage mode after every ride and never over or undercharged them but did not help. Its just a lipo thing I think
Good to know , didn’t know that. I was going to try some lipos for a small build…I might change my plans .
I mean lipos are totaly fine and easy to get them working. But for a long term build i would take liion. If the board is meant to be cheap just go with lipos they just dont last that long
If you had a 6s 5000mah 65c lipo it can put out 325 amps (just ratings)
30c they are rated for 150a
But I’m sure you know manfuacture ratings mean nothing
i have 3 sony vtc5 10s4p packs for sale $320 shipped anywhere in the USA
In all previous experience, the VTC5 has a slightly longer lifespan than the the VTC5a. both are fantastic cells, but realistically they can safely only pull 25a each
here is a useful site for verifying info about the genuine current abilities. (read the fine print at the bottom of the site)

If you’re going diy again, we could buy together. (need like 50x)
Edit: the bulk discount it’s not worth half the hassle.
Looking for a battery made in Europe/uk as I’m in Ireland
He’s not doing orders at the moment, I asked him like a week ago. Too busy with exams he said. I asked when he’d be done with them as it was a long term project…No response.
Look elsewhere!
Yeah, I do but there’s probably a 3-4 week long line
Haha thnx for the tag, I have to much guys asking me questions for building a battery, or battery building tips & tricks.
Unfortunately I am currently too busy with my studies.
@jimmymagix If I forgot to reply, sorry for that. I sometimes forget to answer. I often read messages at a quick moment
