60ah are marginally large enough. Two sets of 80s better. 24 make 72v. Up to 27 in a gem. Make sure hardware is included, although I bet my straps fit. Let me see if c rate is listed, I didn’t read the whole add. ---

Good to go 10c pulse rating and hardware by request. Seems a super deal. If they are always available, I can wholesale what I have left. Yay, no more testing. 🙂 My balancers and possible matching bms work with them also. I have a pallet of balance boards left. Also J1772 29a chargers for 24s packs. ---

Inwo What would you charge for 27 with hardware sent to UT? ---

Fyi, these are not my cells. I get $50/cell plus shipping. My tested batteries have been out of stock for a while. May be getting more soon.
