I�m probably in the market or a DIY battery.

I have an old motor glider that I want to fly with electric power. Have a motor and speed control that expects a 28s lithium battery.

Need at least 6 kWh and a peak discharge rate of 25 kW.

I�ve been on the lookout for batteries from a wrecked zero but they are few and far between.

There is a guy selling model 3 cells for $350 a kWh on endless sphere. Might be easier than 900 18650�s.

If I build a battery with cylindrical cells it would be welded.

But yeah waiting for a motor cycle to have a bad day seems prudent.
