Hello, I have been looking for info about building a battery with removable 18650 cells. Every battery I have seen uses soldered connections. I understand that this is the preferred method however I need to travel and to ship, and that is not possible with large soldered battery packs.
I would like to build my own battery pack and make it so the cells can be removable. Perhaps a 14s2p or 14s3p configuration with 6-10ah and a max amp draw of 16a. Perhaps I could use plastic battery holders with the bms attached to the terminals on the battery holders. The batteries can be taped to the holders tightly with electrical tape, but when I need to travel I can remove the tape and remove the 18650 individual cells and then I can travel with them.
Has anyone built a battery such as this or is there anything theoretically wrong with this? I am new to the ebike scene so I do not know much about li-ion batteries. Thank you!
