Just thought I would show off a pack I built with some junk cells.
^ A Handy silicone wrap from a travel mug held 8 cells just nicely.
^ Mini packs assembled
^ The final product. 3s8p. Approx 8ah @12v
Any suggestions as to what enclosure I should use, I haven't found one yet. I estimate it can run my LED lights and charge my phones for about 8 hours in the event of a blackout.
I don't have photos, but I did break 2 fuses moving the pack. Glass axial fuses are a lot more delicate than they look.
Fused at 1a per 2p. On reflection I should have gone 2a, because I wish to charge at 4a.
