Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Going to try soldering some 3x6 inch cells together today. Some are cracked acrossed, some broke in half, and some have small peices missing. Since this is my first time I should learn something. If anyone has any pointers, I'm all ears.

Soldered 8 out of 40 cells together this past weekend (hope to have 36 good ones when done). Got 4.6 volts total, which is a little better than the .55 volts per cell, advertised on the listing. Does wiring these together add up similar to wiring batteries (parallel increases amps only & series increases the volts only)? Amps per cell advertised on the listing per cell is 3.6
