I decided I was going to use some flexible cutting board as cell insulators. They are thin, strong, HDPE plastic.
  • I cut the HDPE to the length of the cell, plus the studs.
  • I clipped the corners for buss bars
  • I drilled a hole, and cut a slot for BMS wire management
I think it worked out pretty awesome. :cool:
*Pro tip: steal an old one from the kitchen. Buy the wife a new set. Bonus points!

Good idea. I cut up some foam shipping envelopes. Approx 1mm thick. I plan to add more batteries and rearrange things so I left the BMS wires long for now.
