Ive had the smaller multistar pack, around 5ah 6s, and the cells weren’t glued together. I’ve heard from other people they also got multistar with no glue. How bout you? How bout this big cell?
Yea not weak with so many ah. Shouldn’t continue their weak sauce stereotype.
So far everyone’s are not glued. These cells are huge. Want to do a version similar to what I think u or someone here did with resoldered cells. Making a deck to go with them. See how slim I can get these.
the difference between the 16ah and the 10ah is that the 16ah actually has parallel groups going on (hence the 6s 2p) while the 10ah only has single cells (6s1p). So I’m interested to see if they glued the parallel cells. I’m also curious how they layered the cells with wiring the parallel and serial cells.
This is because I am interested in buying the 6s2p packs to slim down instead of making my own 18650 packs (which requires purchasing a spot welder).
That’s my plan as well.
It’s 2p but strangely is almost the same size as the 12ah pack that’s 6s as well. How this is possible or if it’s a misprint I’d like to know.
About weak sauce though and 160amp possibility…these cells as well as most lipo have exaggerated c ratings.
Yes they are removable with a credit card. I use a plastic protractor because of the curve it has. Makes it easier to cut the double sided tape holding the cells together
there is no glue anywhere in the 16Ah multistar packs. I repacked one not too long ago to fit in my 6S rat board.
i ever did a thread to discuss if it really was weaksauce or if it was the perfect commuter pack. I top out at 25mph on it and it has a range of over 20 miles. Not slow 20 miles either, like 18-20mph 20 miles which is ideal for a commute.
Good to hear. Thank you. Could u do me another favor and please tell me if the dimensions they post are correct? Strange that the size is almost the same as the 12ah
i didn’t measure the pack before i split it open and laid it out side by side, but IIRC the dimensions were accurate. That is to say it wasn’t longer or shorter or thicker than expected.
The 12ah is not glued. But if you split the lipo, the battery tabs are aluminum and cannot be normally soldered. You need aluminum flux and solder. The balance wires might be too short too.
