Thanks!

The individual cells Samsung ICR 18650-22p. Each cell is about 2000 mah. Each cell is capable of 20 amp continuous.
Here is the YouTube link where I found them. Haven’t been able to find any more, so please let me know if you locate some.

Sorry for all the questions

I have been checking voltage of each pack weekly. They were top balanced when I did the install and have stayed balanced. Still want to find a cheep BMS.
I bought a very small 4 or 5 amp charger, little plastic job that is specific for 10s lithium batteries. It shuts down at 42 volts, but I usually catch it and disconnect at around 41 volts or so.
