No, those are 1.25mm pitch which is very small.
Battery connectors are usually 2.54mm (0.1) pitch. Or maybe 2mm.

Thanks John, looks like the correct size is on an adjacent page.

Has anyone tried one of these chargers?

Just over 60 notes for an 8s with a built in balancer!

is it ok to hot melt glue a123 cells together to keep them as a pack?

thanks alex

It's OK, as they shoudn't get that hot. Only use a very small amount, to avoid adding too much weight.
Alternatives (cold-setting rubber-like adhesives) are B&Q Rubber Glue, Bison Liquid Sole or Shoe Goo.

Just looking at the dewalt battery packs I've noticed that they have recently changed the packs and the cost is also significantly different.

I'm looking at 28V packs which on ebay I can get the DE9280 pack on ebay for £99.00

There is also the DC9280 pack which is £59.95

Does anyone know what the difference between the two packs is?

As far as I can tell via the web they both use A123 Cells.... see the link I posted above for the cheaper pack ...so the difference is £39.05.
