I have seen many battery making videos. this one being one of the most safety oriented ones. others use really unsafe methods of connecting the cells, ignoring the possibility of error and so on. thank you so much for a good video!

I love how every diy battery pack looks like a bomb while making it

I love the simplicity of your videos, I just built my first mountain bike conversion and with your video on how to build power packs, I’m confident I can make a proper power supply for my 2000 watt hub system, I’m a subscriber and I give this video 2thumbs up 😊

I am planning on building a battery for a Viking Tandom Tadpole Trike my son and I built a few years ago. This battery with supply power for a Bafang 52v 1000 watt Mid Drive Motor I intent to purchase to complete our project. Your videos are highly informative as I am sure your books are even more so. Thanks for all you do for the DYI world.

I love all the videos you produce, whether building batteries like this one, or reviewing e-two wheelers. Keep 'em coming, please!

Hi Micah, I cant thank you enough, in 6 months time I went from total newbie not understanding a thing to a competent person ready to build my own ebike from scratch. Between this channel and EbikeSchool, your book and Vruzend there was enough material to keep me busy interested and learning for days upon end, and I enjoyed every bit of it and still at it.
There is one subject that keeps eluding me and that is controllers, I dont know if you had that covered already on your channel I couldnt find it and I would love to learn a bit more about that.
And while on the subject, what are the chances of you developing and offering a product like that for sale?
Thank you.

I am currently working on a motorcycle conversion project. This video is gold! I will need to buy or make a 72V battery pack to get this bike moving and I plan to copy your work as closely as I can.

Dollar store cutting boards rock
I use them for all kinds of fabrication, mostly for directing air -
Custom pc building, a/c to water chiller conversion. Also backing for drywall repair. Cheap, rugged, non conductive, waterproof. Oh, made a sanding attachment for my drill too

I'm doing a project for school and we could really use those books!

[xpndblhero]

Can't wait to see the finished product because I've been wanting to do this for a while now¡! Thanks for doing it and getting all the important details right... That's helps alot. 😊👍🏻

Hi Micah; Thank you for your videos and content! I own you battery DIY book, and I have read several of the chapters two-or-three times (I don’t want to set my house on fire, or hurt myself) but your videos “round out” the topics. A 20S12P, 72V 40 A hrs, 2.8Kw battery! Now that’s beefy! Thank you!

[clmetal]

Thanks for everything you share, Micah! I am making a 10s2p but it needs to be layered (cube shape 2x5x2). Seeing you fold this with the plastic sheet in between answered my question

[JamesWilliams-jimg]

Folding the pack over like that is kinda terrifying, why did you do it that way instead of connecting the 2 packs in series?

[jordanmkrebs]

Really interested to see what your typical range and max speed is on this build.

[lenhawkins]

Great video Micah. I learn more from you and your battery build videos than anyone else. You actually teach by explaining each part of the process. Great job! Thanks!

[Xtrafix]

This is one of the reasons why I love your videos is because your awkwardness shows your a human that makes mistakes but awesome input as always

[Technoholicplus]

What about cooling, Sorry I am New, but i have heard, generally high drain batteries emits lot of heat.

[bridylph]

this is the future. hope lithium mining can become more sustainable for ecology and people.

[joeows]

20S12P with 200 amp discharge, 72 volts 36Ah ... I just purchaesed 3 of your books on Amazon... I am looking forward to building a battery for the Luna Galaxy Paint I'm gettin. Thanks for the video's.

[jideolubunmi]

Wow, your ease with narratives & illustrations makes this journey quite interesting thanks.
