My plan is to leave that one as is and add 1 or 2 more tapped into this system.

Feet attached. All that’s left is the lid and then I can wire everything together. Test fit was a success with plenty of room to spare.

Made some progress on this little project tonight. Cells have been top balanced and the box is mostly built, just need to add some feet to the bottom and a cover on top. The base panel has a pass through for the wires coming off the cells that’ll run down to the BMS mounted on the underside.

That's no raptor... that's an abomination.

That extension (and software) is hot garbage, get rid of it ASAP.
