I use 10 cells parallel. So the max. current is 30A. With a voltage of 21,6V that are 650W. My average consumtion is 250W for my motor. Max. 500W.
So I save money and weight with the NCR18650B cells.
I´m building a battery pack with 60 Panasonic NCR18650B cells. Cells are great in performance and in cycle life time.

I got my NCR1860B cells. Yesterday i started a life cycle test with one of them. Charge with 1.5A up to 4.2V. Discharge with 3A down to 3V.
Want to compare with the Panasonic datasheet. After 100 cycles i will stop the test to compare. But that takes 3 Weeks.
It works very good with 0.15mm pure nickel strips. I will upload a video in a few days showing how it works.
But if you need more power, a second cap is helpfull
I made a perfect working spot welder with MOSFET switch. Easy to build and cheap.
Here is the tutorial:

I also ordered a batterybox from aliexpress for 45$ for my Li-ion cells. Want to...
Part II shows how to load the cap and first test.
Need some exercise but now I´m ready to build my 700Wh Li-ion battery pack with my new spot welding machine.
Yesterday I ordered 60 Panasonic NCR18650B batterys, so I hope they will arrive soon.
Stay tuned!
