anyone with 3D modeling skillz up for contributing a little case for these bad boys? https://shop.mntre.com/products/protected-battery-board
the idea is to have a case where you can mount a pair of these, put in 8x 18650 LiFePO4 cells and have a slot where the 2 picolock cables can come out. we're launching the MNT Station soon, which is a desktop/server case for the MNT Reform mainboard, and it has holes on the back where these cables can go in.
@mntmn using in it for couple of years in my wiring closet at home as emergency power backup for network equipment.
@mntmn but it is very simplistic box tailored to fit the free spot in the closet, with 2.5mm barel jack for power (to plug right into PoE switch barel socket). BMS+balancer in the middle and holders in side slots. a cap just with hole for the barel jack and socket.
@ruff ohh interesting, what kind of BMS are you connecting them to?
@mntmn tbh i don't remember already and looked through all my past order history for last 3 years i cannot see it. Found only white 100A 5S BMS but i use it for different battery assembly. For that box I remember was using green pcb 20A 4S LiFePO4. It was 4s2p assembly so both packs wired in parallel to 4S terminals (to 12V power rail)
