Earlonics said:Not sure why this image uploaded on its side but here is my current Batteries, in prep for my build...14s100p I would like to know two things, probably already posted somewhere so if someone can point me in the right direction,I'd be grateful.
1) I've sorted my batteries into packs, using the rpacker program. Do the batteries need to be fully charged when you are soldering or spot welding them together?
2) what is the max difference between individual cells in a pack should you go with resistance. Just curious what others think.
Earlonics said:Thanks for your detailed response, I have a number chargers li500, VC4S, fanflare etc, and like many others find they are all different on the measurement of IR so I invested in a 4wire tester and tested every cell with the tester. My thought is that if every cell is IR tested using the same meter even if the meter is slightly out at least all measurements would be out by the same.
I've just started building my busbars but having trouble sourcing fuse wire in the UK, anyone with advice on this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again
Paul
BTW I dont tend to use Forums any advice on if I'm posting in the right place,should I post my questions somewhere else, like I said I'm new at this.

Hi Paul
Any questions are welcome, youll find a ton of useful info and help from the members, the FAQs is also a great source of information.
If its a build question post it in Battery Pack Design, Planning, and Building.
Details and documentation of your build, post in DIY Battery Project Builds.
No your pictures didnt upload. Once you put them into the loader you need to click on them to insert into your post.
I use glass lead axial fuses rather than wire.
Looking forward to seeing your project build progress.
Thanks again Chuck will take on board your advice and guidance
