How do I make 10S4P pack? Help please!

[vadikb]

Hi. My 36v 9ah tube battery was stolen, and now I am in need to make another one. For my little project I will be getting this set:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Water-bottle-type-e-bike-battery-box-Used-for-18650-cell-assembly-With-free-cell-holder/1565979743.html

I am guessing that I will also need to get 18650 5000mah? 10x? batteries to match my stolen battery.

The main problem I am having though, is trying to figure out how to assemble the batteries. Example: 10S4P

I tried looking for 10S4P diagram on the net, but couldn't find anything. If anyone can kindly draw a diagram for me I would really appreciate it!

Thank you !

i bet it would be cheaper to buy the bottle battery already assembled and then you don't have to buy a spot welder and learn how to weld along with figuring out what 4P means.

You are probably right, but my post is not about what's the best deal for a buck.

10s4p means 10 cells in series paralleled 4 times, so 40 cells. using LCO 2500mah cells that will be a 10ah 37V battery pack. All battery types wire the same. This may help.

None 5ah in 18650 size on the market. 3.4-3.6ah a5 most. You can check out my Panasonic 10S5P build here:http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=48370&hilit=panasonic+battery

Save money and time just buy that battery if it is strong enough for your needs. It looks weak. To build a battery you need to match and cycle the cells first. And a lot more for success. Plus BMS plus ect..

Thanks for the replies. This site was actually very helpful http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/lipo.html

The battery that was stolen was enough for my daily trips so building another battery pack just like it was enough and still cheaper than buying.
