SPIM08HP Cell Holders

thingiverse

Finally, I managed to get my hands on an OEM original SPIM08HP cell holder that meets all specs and requirements of these cells. Since I can now take some decent measurements, I'm sharing these mounts as they're much better to use than anything else I've found and tried so far for my collection of SPIM08HP Lithium Cells! Features of these holders include: * Terminals are aligned for bus bar design * Stackable with alignment pins or without * Packs are compressed slightly when using solid end stops * Air vent channeling is provided on the front and back of each cell * It's easy to secure cells in pack configuration One of the main issues with using SPIM08HP cells is that they need to be slightly compressed after assembly in a pack before being used, as I've learned if you want them to last with high amp demands on them. These holders solve those issues as long as HDPE or some other non-conductive end plates are used to apply even pressure across all cells. I'll post more photos as they become available to better illustrate this. You can also use threaded rod to secure all four corners of the pack or build into another fixture to secure, either way I hope everyone enjoys and I'll be making updates as I print and test more for pack assembly of hundreds of cells! Oh, one more thing; I'm finishing up connection bus bars for parallel and serial cell connections with these holders too. Once these are also completed, we'll test fit them anyway, lol, and I'll post here for a complete design we're using with these cells. Thanks to all for the great designs I've been so fortunate to find here! ---Updated 6/25/20 - Mount pins are now in correct locations, size, etc. with the OEM versions. I'm testing different ways to work with the locator pin dowels as it makes printing these a real pain with supports and etc. Any suggestions besides leaving the pins out?
