    First, let me start by saying I know that NiMH chargers are not meant for use with Li-Ion and would likely destroy the cells at minimum (and best case) - my thought is to not charge the batteries with the original charge mechanism. Let's assume for a second that I want to make a pack where the...

Building a 7s4p pack in the simplest of layouts, 7 long by 4 wide, is, well, simple. But I'm faced with a pack that I want to build where I'd like...

    18650 cell substitute for weld testing

    As the title suggests, what would be a good substitute for an 18650 cell that is easily obtained that would allow for testing and dialing in of a welders pulse, so you could see an accurate representation of the penetration of the weld on the under side of the weld? I've seen people use utility...
