Non printed parts:
4x Bolts: M4 x 12mm
4x Nut: M4
1x IP5328P Board Type-C in/out 18W (QC3.0) Should this link die go to AliExperss and search for IP5328P.
3 or 5x Battery 18650. No link is provided as they seem to change frequently. Go to AliExperss and search for 18650. Pick any without a charger that fit your needs.
Any charging cable and charger with a USB C connector. You likely already have one.
Assembly is quite simple. If you already have a spot welder you can weld a strip to the batteries. If not they can be soldered. Go to YouTube and search for “solder 18650” and you'll find a number of tutorials.
