This time i chose new cells.

I started out trying to weld the ABS with a soldering iron, but that left a large hollow tunnel in the centre of the weld, so i finished the job using "solvent welding" i.e filling the 'V' i cut with ABS melted in acetone.

With no BMS at hand i just pulled the balancing wires out of the top.

Except for the cells, all parts were scavenged.
