Does anyone here have experience with the screw-terminal 38140 cells offered by Headway (and perhaps some of their less well known Chinese competitors)? Their vendors even offer complete kits with hardware for grouping and linking cells. But then you might be falling back into the problems of loosening and corroding connections, I suppose. They also seem to be a bit more expensive per watt-hour than some other LiFePO4 cells, but that might be because I don't know where to look.
