I am building an electric longboard, I've calculated that I'll need 96 batteries, in a 12s8p configuration to deliver 80A at 44V. I have experience with LiPo batteries for UAVs, but I am not sure about batteries on this scale. I am UK based, and so far the best option seems like Sanyo NCR18650GA 10A batteries at €4.10 each.For starters, I saw someone getting told off for using a soldering iron when wiring cells, what is the recommended method?Secondly, I know wiring in series without balance leads is bad, but what about parallel? And to charge this behemoth I doubt my 300w Turnigy charger will cut it.Right now my thoughts are constructing 12 sets of 8 batteries in parallel, and making a harness for use on the skateboard, then another that connects all 12 sets in parallel for charging.Is this right?Thanks for any advice/help! :) via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2EXTkzL
