    Better solution for modular 18650 setups?

    Ooh those are both amazing ideas! The contact surface area on the magnets in foil is BRILLIANT!

    Better solution for modular 18650 setups?

    Oooooh now this looks interesting. Motley Mods makes a triple sled that has loops that they claim can do up to 14 gauge wire! Hurray for the vape nation lol. Too bad they're like $6-7 ea! By the way, I just now figure out that those normally downward facing thin spikes on the black single...

    Better solution for modular 18650 setups?

    Wow that Vruzend and Nishi tech are pretty darn nice solutions! That'd be perfect, though taking the batteries out would be slightly more difficult but doable. I also love the idea to use copper strips instead of gigantic spade terminals for the effective wire gauge increase and the thinness...

    Better solution for modular 18650 setups?

    I have a lot of devices like flashlights and USB C bank enclosures that run on 18650's so I want to keep my cells portable/modular and thus not punch soldered together. BUT I also want to use 9-ish of them to power a small inverter in case of a power outage. So I looked into premade plastic...

    18650 cells in series safely?

    Ohhhhh yeah doubling the voltage and keeping the amps the same IS double the "electricity" and the extra wattage from the 2nd battery goes. Now I get it. Electronics 1 in high school was a looong time ago lol.

    18650 cells in series safely?

    I just realized the change in the voltage represents the increase in energy and there's no way to add a battery without doubling the voltage which negates what would be an amp increase because the device cares about voltage so that does make sense. Grrrr so now i need 3 parallel circuits because...

    18650 cells in series safely?

    Except if you're talking about batteries. Each battery cannot output more than 30 amps. So if I put 3 in a row, I can draw 90 amps from each battery in the series. So then I'd be drawing 30 amps from the first battery, 30 amps from the 2nd battery, and 30 amps from the third battery so the last...

    18650 cells in series safely?

    I got a hold of some pretty high quality genuine Sony Murata 18650 cells for a project. I know each cell has a 30A max output capability but will the cells be damaged if I run them in series of 3 for just over 12V charged and then pull 70ish amps through all of them simultaneously? Or will the...
