I think I will add another 4 pack of 20Ah cells to my battery.
So instead of toiling for hours doing the white knuckle assembly of punching holes in the cells and screwing the tabs together I am going to get the proper connector this time. When I originally assembled the battery I didn't know such connectors were for sale to privet individuals or at least I couldn't find a source.

I think these prismatic cells is the way to build battery.

The original 8 cell battery is working great. But when it gets cold you can tell it really has to work to pump out those 350 amps to crank over the 495 cubic inch 22:1 diesel.
Having another stack of cells to share the misery they will make the assembly as a whole last that much longer.

The company I bough my cell connector is based in Israel. So you can fight OPEC directly and by proxy when you buy their products.
