I finely got around to putting together my super diesel cranking battery.
I built my 8 AMP20 cells into a high power diesel cranking battery. Its most of the way wired up, just need to put the finishing touches on it.

Just hooking up 8 cells (worth somewhere around 0.6KWH) took several hours. Is there really anyone wanting to wire up a few dozen of these for use in an electric vehicle. Because it would be a huge PITA.

There has got to be a better way.
Are there any premade clips or connectors we can buy???

Check back soon for pics!
