This battery is more interesting for its waterproof case case than for its cells (16s):
I know about the swelling, in the car where they came from very little to no pressure was applied so I thought we will see how it goes.
About the cell connections, when stripped from there pack the aluminium side had a copper strip welded to it. Therefore I was able to solder the cell ends together.

Anyone try LifePO4 batterry yet? And how to make a pack with it?
Yes. I ride them. But they are almost twice as heavy!
How many S and P that you packed?
And what kind of Lifepo4 that u used
But I have already answered someone that I would not go to these elements now.
Oh Great. How many minutes that you ride?
Maximum of 40 minutes. On average, about 40 amps. We need to try another screw and wings.
That one looks really nice!

Hi @Kwinty ,
I just searched the forum for someone who has already successfully tried pouch cells. I happen to have some lying around, which Iâd like to use for my E-Foil. The cells are 5000mAh each and I was planning to make packs of 6s2p, so 10Ah with 22,2V - just so I can still charge them with my RC- LiPo Charger. How do you charge yours?
One problem is that the tabs are made of aluminum, so soldering is nearly impossible. I guess I have to find a spot-welder to do the job eh?
Did you have any temperature issues with your packs ? Do I need to run some sort of water-cooling around the packs to cool them down ?
And how did you electrically seal or isolate the packs and especially the tabs ?
Sorry for all these questions after a year. If anyone else feels like answering my questions or has some thoughts or infos for me before I start making the packs - any help is appreciated 
Hi @Jasey,
Thanks for the response. My cells are are (218Wh) 60Ah and have no issue at 50A ish discharge when close to 100A mine will get to 60°C so not suited for all day full throttle.
If you have a closer look at my battery tabs you can see that i soldered them, i was lucky enough that the aluminum end had a copper strip sonic welded to it. In your case spot-welding might work but is hard to do on bare aluminium.
My casing is 3d printed the outer housing and i double taped the cells together and at the end i wrapping them in kapton tape.
As for your 6s setup it works fine. I just went for a12s SmartBMS to save the whole splitting story. As for the cells i would go for a 6S4P since 10Ah is a real small efoil battery. And most likely wil not last you a half hour of foiling.
Good luck building and hope to see your progress lateron.

Thanks for your answer.
I wasnât planning on using 12s2p batteries, but rather wanted to make smaller packs that I can charge more easily. I thought I could still contact multiple of those âsmallerâ packs to make a bigger battery, i.e. 4x 6s2p to make a 12s4p. I donât know if that really makes sense though.
And for connecting the pouch cells, is there anything else youâd recommend if soldering and even spot-welding doesnât really work? I also thought of gluing, but conductive glue is freakin expensive and bolting the tabs might be too bulky/heavy.
In any case, Iâll keep you updated, even if itâs just a âhow not to do itâ 
Depending on the length you have on the tabs you could try bolting them.
I did some reading and this might work. Itâs some more work but with the right tools doable.
Good luck and ill see the progress or setbacks 
Anyone in Austria/Italy that could do a nice 14s battery pack for me and put it in this box with a Daly BMS?
We are a battery manufactory in China. We are producing 16P12S battery packs for the electric surfboard.
If the battery is original,I think itâs a very good price .can you recommend the contact to us?
