This was quite the project for me. I built a 72V 20AH battery from used batteries that I had to disassemble and balance myself then rebuild to make a large 72v battery protected with a BMS for a 5000w Ebike build I'm working on. I had a lot of hiccups along the way: My spot welder died, packages got lost in the mail, I got a bunch of parts from Ebay and Aliexpress that were not as described. I also learned that nickel plated steel is often used when you have 2p,3p and 4p rolls, even if the seller lists it as something else. Thanks for watching!
