Building a 18650 pack. Can someone guide me, or direct me to a tutorial?

Yup Unfortunately, I have to either wait and save more, or sell my Tacon, since I don’t really have the option return it. Can’t seem to post on the markets sub on here either. Let me know if you see anyone needng a motor!

And how many cells have you got?

Airmacx · June 30, 2016, 4:39am

Individual batteries? If so 40.

I thought you had 20 so I was worried. Haha. @whitepony has made a few diagrams for this configuration. Here are some pictures of his designs:

The difference between them is that the first one has both positive and negative wires ending at the same side.

Thanks @whitepony!

i decided against the first layout even though it has shorter and convenient placed battery wires. was afraid of wear & tear between the cells that, for picture 1, results in a short, and in picture 2 doesnt matter at all! afterall, electronic components in a skateboard suffer from a lot of hits and vibrations.
