  Friendly advice: Don&apos;t do it 4-5 times in a row. Check that video with thermal camera and comparison of spot welding and soldering. Even if you spot weld it gets some heat into the battery. It is better to spot weld once and then move to the next tab and do it in circles. This will give the battery chance to cool down a little bit.

  Micah, nice to find someone that can speak calmly, &nbsp;logicaly, without screaming or music fading in and out,,, you can even smile,, very refreshing. &nbsp; Perhaps you would be kind enough to give me a rough idea as to how many 18650&apos;s I could get into a box with internal dimentions of 290mm x 145mm x 68mm &nbsp;I am only intrested in absolute max number of cells you &quot;think&quot; I might possibly &nbsp;fit in to that space. &nbsp;Ray

  Thank for an excellent video, this is the best battery build video I have seen yet, was building an electric bike using two bosch 36v three phase motors unfortunately it was fried when my garage went up in flames so will be starting again in a short while, regards Doc Cox

  Very informative video! I would strongly sugest to add some more safety proticals. Like wrapping the cells in fish paper aswell as the tops. Cut the nikel so theres no sharp edges because they can poke a hole in your shrinkwrap.
