Used - I got one of the Renault/Better place packs (same as the leaf cells) from the Better Place bankruptcy, through EVTV ... 2 years ago?

I can send you PCBs. You populate sensor side and connect wire link. You can just omit transistor and everything will still work. It just wont shunt...
Great - less work for me! PM me how much you are willing to sell them for. I have 48 cans with 3 terminals each. 0V, 4V and 8V.

Oh and idea about fuse wire isnt new.
Very little that I write about is new. I read about most stuff and forget where I got the info from ... makes it hard to credit the originator! But I should make more of an effort to.

Original plans have + sensor supply wire in case chip would melt. That wire burnt out in number of ocasions when i experimented/tortured it, so it works!
So what gauge wire did you use for the 'fuse', and was it copper, aluminum, or some alloy?

I find that sort of practical stuff very valuable
