Ufobox's pressure-contact 18650 fused connections

[Ufobox]

"How a battery is born 101" well no shit, but your thing won't be cheap and it's less effective and secure than spot welding or even soldering + a little tape adhesive glue etc. Those things are cheap effective and just as accessible to noobs as an overpriced prototype style frame.

Or if you're smart you can use braid and rubber bands like Zero MC used to do. Dirt cheap canned cell interconnections with huge current capacity.

I'm glad that my thing doesn't look cheap. This is my previous battery pack and also the reason that led me to making a holder for my applications.

I dont believe the Ufobox version has achieved its final form. Also it's incredibly valuable to see other innovative ideas. This design proposal does not match any of my current needs, but I have benefitted from seeing some of its features, and hearing the logic behind the decision for various choices that were made.

A quick update with a few videos showing the steps to assemble and disassemble a pack with the holder.

I think the idea of scaling up and down is working. Next, I'd like to simplify and reduce the parts used, especially on the cells contact, and reduce the overall foot print if possible.

Feel free to comment, to ask or give input. Thanks for watching.
