Guys, I need your help.

I am planning to make a portable power station (4S16P) with a pelican case.

1. Where can I find proper layout schema for batteries and how to properly solder them together
2. Should I use busbars for this project or I or better to use spot welder because this would be a portable power station?
3. I have read a FAQ but I didn't catch should I use 4S16P or 16P4S for my project?


I am appreciated for your comments and help
 
Wrong section for asking questions. The DIY Battery Project Builds is specifically for the progress of a build in progress. This is a Battery Pack and Design question. Moving to proper section. Before posting further threads, please verify you are posting in the proper section.
 
People like the 4s16p format for the cells which means 4 groups of 16 cells in parallel per group.
Layouts can be varied to suit the shape of the box you wanted the batter pack to fit into.
You could make each 16p group as 1 row of 16 cells, 2 rows of 8 cells or maybe 4 rows of 4 cells, it doesn't really matter physically as long as the electrical connection is correct!

There's a few other builds of similar projects around, maybe have a look at those for details :)
