Not sure if these tea leaves are meaningful (representative of other people's battery packs), but here's how it turned out:




It sure seems like the top row is a better place to live than the bottom row.

And in terms of the series "string" of sticks within that layout, here's how they're connected:

Top row stick #'s: (empty), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Middle stick #'s: 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7
Bottom stick #'s: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
