Here are a few cell suggestions for battery builds based on what’s available from the normally recommended suppliers. Please consider buying through one of these links, any compensation that I make helps me convince my wife it’s worth spending 5 hours a week on Facebook 🙂

(Please note that this post is a living document, please let me know if anything is out of stock or if you find a battery that should be added.)
