I would not build this pack nor buy parts for it without my better half's approval.
So I'd better tell her about my plans...

I just did and luckily, she's supportive provided it is removable (for oversized batches of holiday luggage), safe obviously and thoroughly designed.
So, green flag! Thank you mrs. Red*, love you!
(* I dare not call her mrs. Devil as that might just jeopardize the matter at hand )

Now, things to do.
What cables to use between the OEM and portablepack terminals, what connectors (I need some kind of docking terminal, obviously), what cell undervoltage/overvoltage protection and monitoring stuff?
Choices...

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
