It’s a tiny model which doesn’t balance (handy) from bestech. I’m going to swap it out and use a d140 from bestech. (Will need to rewire)

@pjotr47 Just get one of these.

I think they are labeled wrong and are to be used for li ion. It says it balances at 4.18. Then again it does say 36 volts. I am sure you can ask them for a li ion version.
Otherwise get this one and be sure about it.

I got them direct from bestech. I bought quite a few but they will normally ship a couple at a time.
Just for reference, I mailed for just two and they just linked me to US re-sellers. It’s hit and miss, if you get denied just try again in a week.

Just touching base with everyone. I’ve got some decks and enclosures out but still have a backlog of enclosures to make and fit. I’m struggling for time with the day job but will get round to it. In the meantime if anyone wants a deck or enclosure give me a should and I’ll see what I can do. I’m going away for work for a week now so should get more stuff on the way after that.

I’ve seen a few people (only @L3chef) mentioning getting stainless steel inserts instead of brass. I can’t seem to find any like this but in stainless steel so does anyone have a secret supplier?

Ebay, local hw store. Aliexpress. If you can’t find S.S inserters, then buy galvanized inserter. Like those in your link
