Christopher Tolkien left us.
Middle earth mourns for him.

I use turnigy nanotech 5000mah and graphene panther 5000mah

Both have xt90

0.1 totally not recommended with the minispotA.
The heat is xtreme.
0.05 is a very good choice. I did packs with it. Better than 0.2 nickel imho.
The packs with magnets are shockproof. For trampa mountainboards. The magnets are a plus in reliability. Jump high problem free.

I said nothing...

kjhmWXenyTE I did this video for another forum yet it's interesting here too. Order matters: 1st I tested copper on steel and nickel on it. Good results as usual 2nd I did copper on nickel. Not very good yet acceptable. 3rd nickel on copper. Very good. As you can see the order matters. Copper on ni...

Mostly yes. Fets will die eventually but heat is what will kill them fast. If you keep the machine cold you are good for next weld.

Good morning. For those who have difficulties with the pen maintenance and building new ones you will be glad to know that the sunkko is discounted now. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/cmVje588 Just solder an xt90 and ready to go. The tips are extremely expensive but I think you should be able to m...

Today i made another sandwich method test with the custom boss spot welder. I am very happy with the results. Copper on copper sucks. I have never managed to make a decent weld. They do not stick. Using the sandwich method i made two strips of copper with nickel inside stick and two strips of nickel...

https://eu.nkon.nl/catalogsearch/result/?q=Vtc5a If you are outside EU use .ru site Maybe Michal (tumich) from this forum has them refurbished. The common charge for li ion is 0.5c 10s4p 30q= 12ah good up to 6amps charger 10s4p vtc5a=10.4ah good up to 5 amps charger You can fully charge in 2 hours....

If you plan to make just one battery you better buy a commercial one. If you want to learn how to do it arduino spot welders are good for that task. Best bang for the buck is Samsung 30q right now. If you want more quality Sony vtc5a have a great price. Use a good bms. I use smart bms lately. You ca...

Short boards are not uncomfortable at all. They turn much better at narrow streets, they have often a kicktail making your life easier.... they are not as stable at high speeds as a longboard and the stance is not optimal for long rides(my personal opinion not the absolute truth). Depending on the k...

That depends entirely on your own taste. I have a short deck for small trips to the pharmacy or groceries and I love it. When I go "for a ride" I prefer longboard. They are the same concept yet they have nothing to do... make your choice: comfort or portability. If you got the cash pick both....

I just did another pack. Same method, 0.1 copper sheet+neodinium 12s4p with sony konions vtc4+120amps bms inside a waterproof pelican case. 3.2 kg of pure powah for a trampa e-mtb

nice method. I think i will eventually try it. thanks for sharing

My only concern is: are 0.1 copper sheath strong enough not to sheer off un stress and vibrations ? I used 0.127 mm copper sheets to do a pack (god forbid, I soldered it), but it's holding off real well. Pics of mine: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93576&p=1429947&hilit=Anche...

What thickness of copper sheet are you using? What size and N-rating of magnet are you using? (link?) That pack has 0.1 pure copper. The magnets are these: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bXeMJ9ZO The pack has been tested under rough conditions. Very intense vibrations and shocks. So far so good. ...

Going back to the discussion of sandwich spot welding, I have tested this method to weld copper with the MiniA VTtL6Q_ON7U 0.05 sandwich test.jpg The scraps at the left are the aftermath of the sandwich method. At the right is a direct spt weld on copper. Direct is far superior with this machine. No...

I have tested the sandwich method with the boss welder today.


Left is sandwich method and right is direct spot weld.
I guess that method is good for machines unable to weld copper but not for the boss welder.
Direct is far superior with this machine.

Ok enaon:
The pieces of wood are 25mm X 125mm they are kind of 20mm deep.

I did this weekend a shockproof pack for a Trampa mountainboard. My customer is more of an animal than a human so it really needs to be rock solid to last in his hands. I used both welding and the neodinium magnets technique. The welds are really really unlikely to fail due to vibrations and continu...

i'll try to do it when i get home. I'm out now.

It is way more difficult to cool. You must go slower.
It makes fine welds on 0.05 copper at 4-5ms
I just did a flat pack for esk8. Check it's thread:
https://endless-sphere.com/forums/view ... t=98854

I just did a semiflex flat battery pack with the MiniA. 0.05 copper. The conductivity is similar to 0.2 nickel but copper has better heat disipation and flexibility. The risk of failure due to vibrations is minimal. 1.jpeg 2.jpeg 3.jpeg 4.jpeg 5.jpeg 6.jpeg The MiniA did a great job. I managed to ma...
