# Parts List & Prices
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** *Some extra components were purchased in case of defects*
|
||||
|
||||
## Main parts from AliExpress:
|
||||
|
||||
* **10** D1 Mini for **20.53$**
|
||||
* **13** BMI 160 for **18.99$**
|
||||
* **10** 18650 Battery chargers for **6.81$**
|
||||
* Keep in mind that this will also work for regular LIPO batteries
|
||||
* *See battery section for explanation*
|
||||
|
||||
## Small parts from AliExpress:
|
||||
|
||||
* 10 pack of DPDT 2P2T Panel Mount Switches for **2.99$**
|
||||
* 100 pack of 30K ohms for **4.05$**
|
||||
* 5 pack of 4Pin JST connections for **4.93$**
|
||||
* 50 pack of diodes for **2.53$**
|
||||
|
||||
## Batteries
|
||||
|
||||
For reference I bought:
|
||||
|
||||
* **1** ( 10 piece ) EHAO 804040 3.7V 18mAh for **32.77$**
|
||||
|
||||
While these do work the shipping time is pretty awful compared to everything else.
|
||||
To deal with this problem you can swap those out for some Amazon basics 18650's
|
||||
and cases instead which cuts the shipping time way down:
|
||||
|
||||
* 12 pack of 18650 **21.85$**
|
||||
* 10 pack of battery clips **7.99$**
|
||||
|
||||
* Total without taxes: **29.84$**
|
||||
* Total with taxes: **32.15$**
|
||||
|
||||
Total for these is without shipping or taxes.
|
||||
Personally I would bet on buying batteries elsewhere ( if you're in the U.S./Canada )
|
||||
since the cost is usually comprable
|
||||
|
||||
## Total Cost With Shipping and Taxes
|
||||
|
||||
If you buy the 804040 batteries: **93.60$**
|
||||
|
||||
With the 18650's from amazon: **92.98$**
|
