There's a looooong build thread for this on DIYElectricCar including a
lot of videos.

You tube " eSamba " is a series of videos about converting a VW van it a
"Samba" which was a passenger version of the VW Vanagon. There are a large
number of videos abu a number of them are building a "TESLA Style" battery
pack. (TESLA uses 6831 individual cells !) Go to: http://youtu/be/esamba
and that will get you in the stadium...

This battery was purchased through Alibaba from China. The cells are 18650
size LiFePO4.
I believe I saw in image of a Tesla pack opened up and it had multiple
thousands of these in it. (I have head they use 6000 or 700 laptop cells)
I am sorry I don't recall where I saw that. Maybe EVTV?
Seems like welding is the only way to get the sort of reliability you need
if there are no threaded connections. Clamping, as with funky old D cell
flashlights, is clearly not the way to go.
Yes it is a BMS placed inside the pack. Then they duct taped and hot glued
their way to a reasonably presentable pack.
I did not build this myself - that is what I was wondering - if anyone here
has tried this sort of thing. I really don't think it would be too
difficult once you knew the recipe.
Here is another link that might take you to an album of battery images:

My intention is that it be visible to anyone, and it says that is so, but I
may still be sharing the wrong URL. I will put a few more images at the
website.

This one works fine for me. (I do have javascript enabled for Google; it
might be required for this page.)
Thanks for setting it up! The two snipurl links said they were invalid.
It's an interesting battery. I take it that's some kind of BMS top right
in
the first photo?
What kind of cells are they? I mean what size, chemistry, brand? Did
you
assemble the battery yourself? How did you fasten the links?
