For the benefit of my single reader Rick, I thought I’d post a couple of teaser photos of the work I’m doing on the battery box. The electronics in this are probably rather boring, but I’ve spent so long researching the perfect components that to me it’s going to be a thing of beauty. The Souriau connector, in particular, is just wonderful…

Souriau 1412 connector with 2 socket pins soldered, and some plug pins lying around. The piece of wood is the end of the box, milled with a flange for extra strength and waterproofing.
