Description: 4 Wire Cell Holder Stand 18650 21700 Battery Test Resistance Kelvin Connection 4 Wire Cell Holder Stand 18650 21700 Battery Test Resistance Kelvin Connection This is aimed at product designers looking to verify cells from a manufacturer, people hoping to expand battery lab testing channels while keeping costs low, or for people like me that just like getting their own accurate data without breaking the bank on proprietary cell holders from large organizations. The cell holders are NOT ASSEMBLED. You must do the assembly yourself. See the Assembly section below. Features 4-wire contact for accurate voltage and internal resistance measurements Fixed position frame dont need to adjust every time you put a new cell size in Installation guides to center the cell before it is clamped in at the terminals Airflow channels through cell holder base for easier cooling without affecting adjacent cells Single connector connection to test equipment easily swap between equipment and cell holder configurations Push Release for spring-loaded cell contacts dont need to push on the cell when installing (optional) Versions 5A 3D-Printed with PETG filament Best for low-current, ambient temperature testing only. Ensure cells will not heat above 45C under applied loads Max temperature 45C 15A made from fiberglass (PCB material) Includes larger cell contacts, thicker 16AWG wires for current path and equivalent traces through PCBs Max temperature 90C With Push Release 3D-Printed with PETG filament Includes a tab at the end that you push to release the spring loaded cell contacts for easier cell installation and removal The push release tab is 3D printed, but the cell holder is made from the material selected With 3D Printed Parts The required 3D printed parts are included or not. The files can be downloaded below Connectors To connect to this cell holder, a connector with screw terminals is included. Supported wire gauge of the included connector is 12-24AWG. When using screw terminals, please install wire ferrules on stranded wires to prevent accidental short circuits and loosening over time. Connectors have 5.08mm pitch. Additional connectors that fit the connector on the cell holder are available here: link Compatible models also available from other connector manufacturers. These seem to fit based on the images and specs, but have not been verified. There may be issues with increased pull-out force, not clipping in correctly, etc. TE Connectivity 796634-4 Amphenol TJ0451530000G Molex 0395300004 Phoenix Contact 1757035 Dimensions 18650 5A 3D Printed Version Base: 147.5x40mm (push release adds 27mm when fully pushed down, total length required 174.5mm) Height: 35mm (40mm with push release) Mounting holes (M3): 135.5x31mm, 5mm depth 21700 3D Printed Version (5mm longer than 18650 version) Base: 152.5x40mm (push release adds 27mm when fully pushed down, total length required 179.5mm) Height: 35mm (40mm with push release) Mounting holes (M3): 140.5x31mm, 5mm depth 18650 15A PCB Version (2.5mm longer than 3D printed version) Base: 150x40mm (push release adds 27mm when fully pushed down, total length required 177mm) Height: 35mm (40mm with push release) Mounting holes (M3): 138x31mm, 5mm depth 21700 15A PCB Version (2.5mm longer than 3D printed version) Base: 152.5x40mm (push release adds 27mm when fully pushed down, total length required 182mm) Height: 35mm (40mm with push release) Mounting holes (M3): 143x31mm, 5mm depth Assembly Assembly instructions will be available in the projects section of this site soon. The process is relatively straightforward, and takes around 15 minutes to complete. If you have experience with assembling electronic kits, you should be able to assemble it just from the pictures, though it might take a little longer. Assembly instructions for the 3D printed version are available here and the PCB version here. You should be comfortable soldering, crimping screw terminals, stripping wires, using epoxy (and have some on hand), and have some standard size wrenches/sockets. Includes: Wires, cut to length but not stripped Terminal block and screw terminal connector 4-terminal spring-loaded contacts Wire crimp terminals for power contacts and push release handles Nuts, bolts, standoffs, washer, for connecting wires and mount locations (including to embed in the 3D printed base) Does not include: Solder (to attach sense wires to 4-terminal contacts, and all wires to terminal block) Epoxy (to fit the 2 sides of the push release tab, and hold the terminal block in the 3D printed version) M3 bolts to mount the cell holder to a surface 3D Printing Files If you chose to print the parts yourself, you can download the files that I uploaded to Printables here. I printed everything on my Prusa Mini in standard PETG with a 0.6mm nozzle. The parts use about $2 of filament and take about 4h. The cell holder base needs a pause after completing the holes for the captive nuts so you can insert 4x M3 nuts (included). For a guide on pausing a print after a specific layer in Prusa Slicer, see here. The files include a single object with many parts. All except the large base piece are modifiers. The modifiers should be changed to 100% infill, except for the ones at the bottom under the cell which needs 15% hexagonal infill and 0 perimeters, 0 top layers, and 0 bottom layers. For a guide on using modifiers in Prusa Slicer, see here.

Ive tried many options from the cheap leaf spring cell holders to expensive aluminum-framed universal cell holders, but none of them got everything right. So I designed my own to try and get as many things right as possible. This is aimed at product designers looking to verify cells from a manufacturer, people hoping to expand battery lab testing channels while keeping costs low, or for people like me that just like getting their own accurate data without breaking the bank on proprietary cell holders from large organizations.

About Us A2D Electronics is based in Ottawa, ON. I, like you, love tinkering with electronics. A2D Electronics started when I found that there was no place to buy Arduinos and accessories at a reasonable price locally. I had been ordering products to satisfy my electronics needs for the past few months, but just like you, I was fed up with the 6+ week shipping time for every order. It was out of this frustration that the foundations for this business came. We are committed to providing electronic parts locally, at an affordable and realistic price. Payment We only accept payment via PayPal. Please contact us if you have any questions. Our Website We do have a website, but unfortunately due to eBay's policies, we are not allowed to list it here. Returns Returns are not accepted on any items. If your item arrives defective, please contact us. We will send a replacement or offer a refund.
