Building a 21700 five-series pack with Samsung 40T cells (INR21700-40T); the welder is an AWithZ UK1, 5V (2.4A) input, 8.4V output voltage, 1380A current, Shenzhen Juequi Technology; on power-up it has adjustable mode, gear, trigger and continuous; its pen doesn’t weld the moment it touches, you also have to press a switch — he’ll show that when welding. The kit is a Dayi A3 pin-terminal one, open it, there’s nickel inside, tip it out. How the cells go: the bent part faces this way, this is the main −, so the negative goes on this side; once in, locate the main − and main +, this is positive; join the main − first, the small nickel piece goes here; unlike the previous pen that welds as soon as it touches, this one only starts when the switch is pressed, very convenient; the large nickel goes on; flip it over, weld the main + first, then put it in; this pack is now connected. Gauge: by the way the case sits, the gauge goes at the back, red to L+, black to L−; set it in; pack welded, lid on, there’s a spring that must go in or the button won’t come back up, four screws in; find an A3 tool and try it; have you learned to weld a pack now? 159 comments: where to buy brand-new genuine cells, JD / Taobao / Pinduoduo are full of fakes (3); are 5 × 4.0 reliable, EVE 40P for about ¥100 (2); how much is the welder; tabless vs Sony C6; which welder for copper shims.
