single cell holders used to make packs

[BYqSXt8Z]

Hello, could a single cell holder like this (see image and ebay link) be able to be used to connect cells into a pack, or would the current flowing through those measly pins just melt the whole thing?

You should probably do a little reading around, as this has come up a lot before.

No, it cant be used. Its meant for other purpose, a flashlight, a toy not an ebike period.

Thanks, but I am right that the failure point would be that the metal is not of a sufficient gauge right? So if I go down the road of trying to make single cell holders / compression style, the important part is large enough gauge? (even if I re-used those holders for the plastic casing alone and changed the connectors\drilled it out)

BYg there are much better ways that will work for an ebike

The whole design is not mean for ebike. Why would you wand a battery that is made of shit for yourself? Search ES. It was tested, prooved that is shit end of tje discussion. Close/erase the topic
