Cell Socks

Short update: The battery assembly is moving forward slowly with a few set-backs.  The main setback was I changed my mind on the tab connections.  I assembled part of a back with rivets which worked pretty well but reconsidered as I wanted to be able to replace cells relatively easily.  I have tested all of them but these gray market cells...

One other thing while assembling I brushed a tab with a rivet and got a bit of an arc. No damage done but with 250 of these cells the chances are I would do it again. To prevent that I made up some covers (which my wife called cell socks).  It's just some fairly dense packing foam that I cut a slit in so it would slid over a cell tab.

Meanwhile it's back to peeling stickers and assembling packs.  Though I did recently discover EVTV so I have been watching it on YouTube and it has been *interesting* watching the shows.  The show is kind of like a Thirsty Traveler stays home and tinkers in his garage.  It's entertaining and makes this more tedious work go by faster. :)
