Alright, time for another good update.

Time to wire up the output dc-dc converter. I used some 12 gauge wire I had stripped out of an old car for the leads from the pack to the dc-dc converter.







I found my beefy relay and decided where to mount it.





However, I didn't account for mounting the relay before printing the side panel, so I had to drill and countersink the side plate.





Then it got mounted and wired up.





The handle also finished up printing.





And its mounted up.





And, now for the low voltage disconnect. This is wired to cut power to the relay which is inline with the input power to the dc-dc output converter. So, when the switch is turned off, it cuts power to the low voltage disconnect and the output dc-dc converter for no phantom power draw.

Unfortunately, all of the charging dc-dc converters are still hooked up and will drain the pack somewhat (I think, I should measure that).





And here we have it all mashed together like it will be.
