I agree with Geoff , overlander is the way to go. I used the GP 3300mah in 24v config and they are great in my ram bot.

Yeah those are the ones , there are pricey but the performance of them is well worth the money.

also are they easily made? or do you need some sort of battery making skill to be able to make a good job?

Well i had the packs made in a 5x4 configuration ( 5 x 4 = 20 x 1.2v= 24v) i have 2 24v packs , Luckily i got them sponsored to me but they would of cost over 180 pounds .

I also had the packs made for me , they are just made by a thick grade of wire going from the top to bottom of each cell .You could use battery bars but i havent had any experience with them.

Its a bit hard to describe the way to actually join the cells together , maybe someone else can answer this.

i think overlander do offer an assembly service where theyll build your pack.
