Curious if those are all hooked up to the electrical system in the car, when you go to check the voltage of the pack, you just have to flip the switch to turn the alternator off, and that will give you the voltage of just the batteries right? Will that voltage be a lot lower with the engine running and drawing power from the batteries, or does that not have a large "immediate" change in voltage?
