18650 li-ion battery holders

bif · Jul 11, 2013

Hi cpf folk.

I have built some battery holders for 18650 li-ion, configurable in series / parallel etc. I think they are OK, and might be of interest to some. Hope you like.

I didn't like to add to the thread http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?314221-2-x-18650-Battery-Holders as it is quite old, and maybe ended up being more about the storage of batteries.

Nice. What applications are you planning?

Nothing specific, just 'general project' holders really. Might well be a dead duck, but I wanted a strongish 4 cell holder for my bike light, and I couldn't really find anything.

Holders for 1, 2, 3 or 4 cells. There is solder jumpers on end PCBs, so that they can be configured to individual needs.
1 cell holder; 3.7v
2 cell holder; 3.7v (2p) or 7.4v (2s)
3 cell holder; 3.7v (3p) or 11.1v (3s)
4 cell holder; 3.7v (4p), 7.4v (2s2p) or 14.8v (4s)

They're very nice. Tough enough for a bike light, for sure.

Good job on the holders and the versatility of the design. I think people like myself who use hobby chargers will find something like this useful.

Can you make one with ( or show me a schematic) both power leads and balance leads. My balance charge is an Imax that uses JST-XH balance ports. I prefer a parallel charger box. I want to charge from 2 to 4 individual 18650 5000 mah cells so I will need 3 different balance connector for 2, 3 and 4 cells (I guess).
