Just for fun, how long would it take to hot swap the car's battery pack?
Not bad! I guess that's one of the "benefits" of a small pack.
In reality, not terribly practical, though it could be simplified with some engineering if hot swapping really was a goal... (which it isn't!)
A nice little workout: lifted 16 batteries @ 65 lbs, or 1040 lbs.
I envision a pit crew doing regular drills to get the time below 3 minutes.

Current project:
Now that the supposed "A" pack is back in the car, my current project will be to use the
LED battery pack gauge to rank the batteries from best to worst by cycling the pack a few times & keeping a close eye on it while driving.
Once I've figured that out, I'll evict the worst batts from this pack, swap in the best from the "B" pack (which has already been ranked), and voila, "A+ pack". That's the theory anyway.
