I ordered 8 AMP20 cells off ebay after I figured out A123 and their authorized dealers to be useless, apperantly they dont sell batteries to you and me.
No wonder they are bankrupt. They earned it.
The idea is to fit 8 of these cells into a 30cal. ammo can and make a sub 10 pound 40 amp hour, 900 cranking amp battery to replace my weakened 20 round cell 12 amp hour battery that use to put out about 300amps.
Now I will have enough power to run the welder for a few minutes or kick the air compressor on once or twice.
My question is how much compression should I try to load the cells under so they stay together?
I am sure they wont like floping around inside their housing.
I was planning on soldering the tabs together, any one try this yet?
