Building LiFePo packs
« on: May 17, 2020, 12:21:18 PM »
Does anyone know good stores for buying brand-name, non-counterfeit LiFePo cells and paraphernalia for putting together packs?

I want to build a couple packs for various purposes, like making a 12V pack for my trolling motor, or possibly building eBike batteries later.

I would use an eBike battery, but actual eBike batteries are usually 36V so they won't work directly with trolling motors. And there are lots of 12V LiFePo packs out there but they are all for low-wattage use charging laptops and running TVs and stuff, and don't have terminals for direct hookup. Trolling motor reportedly draws about 30 amps.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.
