Do you have any balance boards left for the lifepo4 cells? I’m looking for 25 of them. ---

Yes, I do. $5 each cell. ---

I was thinking you used them before. Yes, cut all the wire off short. I have a punch to make the holes for battery studs. A grinder or mill will work. Or maybe clip both holes and break out the center piece. As long as there is a small part of the copper foil left to make contact your good. Did I send the ones with a copper extension on each end? They can be discarded. Or possibly bent into a “U” and fastened under the boards. “what ever works” 🙂 Ask on forum to see how others used them. ---

I use these clip-on fuse holders for my testing. I bet a bare ring terminal will work the same. Bend the barrel up through a hole in board and solder. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/d/d8130a9f2462c25e6dbe958a78cacfa3c5bfde65.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/3/3e1a55de3e612a6d7b6e19b3da0e90e9ae846d13.jpeg) ---

Thanks. I’ve used them previously but you had punched them and wires were removed so this is a different experience for me. I’ll need to find/buy a punch as this is the only one I have on hand. ![image0.jpeg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/5/5ec2076096c3d0dfb527792cbd282fbbb5a3c018.jpeg) ---

Try an angle grinder. Cut a notch in from the end. Or a side cutter to snip the middle out between the holes. ---

I used a pair of 8” side cutters to carefully snip the PC board. Be careful though the small LEDs are really fragile. Hand was pretty tired after doing 25 x 2 x 2 cuts however.
