I was reading you build thread yesterday. You were working on a battery box, did you ever finish (or, is that still an going project)?

6/22 update
Today was a 2 steps forward, one step back kind of day...

1. Yesterday I accidentally soldered the negative leads to the wrong side of the pack. (easy fix)

2. Then I soldered the positive and negative leads coming off the whole 'pack' to the wrong side and was getting a voltage of 19.9 volts. It took me a while to figure out what was wrong. (problem fixed, I moved them to the other side of the pack and got 26.5 volts).

3. I put two layers of heat shrink on the 'pack', only afterwards to realize that I forgot to solder the BMS leads. (really... geez...)

I removed the heat shrink and plan to solder the BMS leads tomorrow.

It's progress, but frustrating...
