    Sourcing battery cells

    I'm planning to get an order of 18650 cells I've tested recently. I might be able to get them for cheap. It has about 2100mAH true capacity at 2C discharge. Good lifecycle. Way better than standard lipo. 50g/cell, so a 37v11AH pack (50 cells) would weight about 2.5kg. MP me if you're interested.
