No, if it were me, right? I’d fit two breakers, and I’d put the closing buttons on the outside of the case too — one for the battery’s main positive and negative, one for the 220V switch’s main positive and negative
This is way over the top, easy to blow up; better just buy NMC lithium batteries
For personal use, better not keep it indoors! If you’ve got a charmed life, forget I said anything! Once cells are wired straight in parallel you can’t measure a single cell’s voltage! Say ten 3.7V 18650s in parallel — with 9 dead it still reads 3.7V! And there’s no multi-parallel BMS on the market!
A suggestion I picked up from a forum member on Mydigit: heat a USB plug and use it to melt the spot you want to open up, it comes out neater. Liked by the creator
99% done, 99.9% done, 99.99% done — reminds me of Pinduoduo’s ‘one more cut’
You think once all these cells are in, that handle can hold the weight? I reckon the only upsides are: convenient, insulated, easy to drill.
Can’t follow it, leaving a mark to see how many others can’t either
For slotted holes, here’s a method: drill both ends, cut straight between the holes with a blade, then trim the edges with a rotary burr. Perfect!
