I got 20 for less than £30 but these have tabs welded on to make it easier to build battery packsImage

Hi Midlife,

It seems to be important to order good quality (original) batteries when ordering them in aliexpress. Samsung, LG, Panasonic and more original from big brands can be found there. The extra penny is well spent. Also all the batteries I got are protected, and for those who dont know what it is, it means it comes with a chip that prevents the battery for being overcharged or overdischarged. After the lipos puffing, I dont want nasty surprises anymore.

I am not saying the ones in your link are not original, but it is just in case.

And talking about cases. A "case" is what I got for making the battery packages.

Examples: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-18 ... 4c4duGEZSC

I am confident in my soldering skills, but if I can avoid it for 30 cents, sure I am doing it, lol.

Never believe what you’re getting from AliExpress battery wise.
Most of not all will be the cheapest battery available with a Panasonic sleeve over the top.
They got a bit creative with these lol

9800 mah? I guess it has an uranium bar inside.

Most of the times you order something from aliexpress is a copy of a copy... But there are some exceptions and some ways to know if what you are ordering is OK or not.
First rule, if it is too good to be true, it is fake. (Like that nuclear battery, lol)

Second: Two months ago I ordered this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4PCS-lo ... 4c4dtN7Hwi

If you take a look at the reviews, it has a 4.9 of 5, from 1795 votes. Also if you read the comments, people inspected the battery and said those were originals and the mah rated were correct.
So that should mean those batteries are safe to use and original...

(Beware, the batteries in my last link wont work in your tanks because they have a very low amp draw)

Funny thing I started this thread with a watchtower, and now, more than a year later, I bring more news about it.

Better quality photos here: https://radindustries.wordpress.com/

Well, it seems I have the three evil allies already painted and ready for combat. The stairs are not finished yet, but I think the figures make the job pretty well.

Fantastic job on those figures Mr Rad
Do you think that the soldier with the ppsh has enough scope to adjust to be leaning on a T34turret?

Thanks!

What do you mean, do you want to fit it standing up, over a T34, but shooting over the turret?
If yes, I do have a t34/76, so I can take some pics and compare. It wont fit inside the hatches for sure.

But beware those figures are more in the 1/15 scale.
