SPIDER Automation | 4×6 18650 Battery Cell Spacer Holder – 24-Cell Layout, 18.5mm Bore | Flame-Retardant ABS+PC & Modular Battery Pack Construction
Product Overview & Material Technology
SPIDER Automation 4×6 18650 Battery Cell Spacer Holder is a modular battery assembly accessory designed to organise cylindrical 18650 lithium-ion cells and maintain a structured arrangement during battery pack fabrication. Its 4×6 configuration provides 24 cell positions, making it suitable for larger custom battery pack layouts.
The holder is manufactured from ABS+PC (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene + Polycarbonate) material, specified as flame-retardant, high-temperature-resistant and crack-resistant. Its spacer construction helps organise cylindrical cells within the battery assembly.
Interlocking slots along the edges allow multiple holders to be connected together. This modular construction provides flexibility when creating battery packs in different sizes and shapes according to the required design. The radiating spacer layout is intended to support airflow around the cells and assist heat dissipation, depending on the completed pack design and operating conditions.
With a specified 18.5mm bore diameter, the holder is intended for compatible 18650 cylindrical battery cells. It can be used as part of battery pack fabrication involving suitable nickel strips and spot-welding equipment. Battery cells and electrical connection materials are not included in the supplied package description.
