Battery braid

[sandkil]

Hey guys,
I need your help. Trying to find battery braid for upcoming battery pack build. Seems like braid is a thing of the past. I just can’t find any.
Do you have any ideas were to source 1/4” 6x1mm braid or similar?

Isn’t it just desoldering braid? Should be really common?!

1:24 slot cars use braid for the contacts

+1 for slot car braid, I've used it many times for batteries.

I remember building packs like that... so much easier than using bars.

happy to GIVE you some bars if all you want is assembly and you aren't hung up on using braid

(you just pay shipping...)

I may have a piece of the old school heavy duty battery braid. I'll check...

I was able to find it! The braid is 10" long, 1/4" wide, 0.045" thick. Real heavy duty stuff. I don't remember the RC brand it was. I used some building Clod Buster battery packs and slot car controllers a long time ago.

Now we are talking. Emm.. You do not happen to have one more of those 10" braids?
My intentions are to build two 8-cell battery packs. That equals 9 pcs of braid with a length of just over an inch per pack.

Much appreciated Lonestar. I will get back to you on that offer if no braid is to be found.

Hey sandkil. That's the only piece of braid I have. Your welcome to it.

If you need to set up a year's worth of batteries, you could also use this
