It's very important to use the ring insulators on the positive ends of the cells unless you have a suitable alternative arrangement. That's the biggest mistake I see on amateur and YouTube builds. The other main issue is the routing of any conductors. You must separate them by sufficient insulation if they cross any cells or conductors that are at a different voltage. Sufficient insulation is not the actual conductor's PVC/PTFae insulation, nor the heatshrink covering the cells, which can soon get rubbed through.I like to bulid battery pack for ebike myself.I am glad to sharebetween each other
Yes! I agree it. Lithium battery is pretty dangerous.I will take careIt's very important to use the ring insulators on the positive ends of the cells unless you have a suitable alternative arrangement.

After that, it's just a case of making sure that nothing can move.
One other thing, it's surprisingly easy to drop a nickel strip in the wrong place when you're welding the pack. You'll get big sparks and/or it'll start glowing bright red, while your pack starts to go into thermal runaway, so make sure you're ready to deal with that in case it happens.
Making batteries yourself doesn't really make sense these days unless you have a special reason.
Just personal interest. Maybe I post in one day.Why build the battery yourself? is your bike/ev config special ?
Do you have a particular range or weight target to hit?
Or is it simply an area of personal interest and opportunity to learn and expand skills?
