Hi Dorrington,
Thanks again, i was going to ask what checks you did before potting.
Can't get that potting mix here but found a 3M product. Very expensive though.
Cost about NZ$156.
Had you thought of using adhesive like Ados F2. This seems to stick batteries
to each other well but is flexible enough to move slightly. Although the original
packs were expoxied together so no room for expansion here.
So if removal is needed its not to hard.
Last question, what size batteries have you been packing with.
I bought some Xcell sub c 3600mah from Nikon after getting some for testing
to see what the true capacity was. They turned out to be 3400mah if discharged to 1.0v.
How many of these battery packs have you done and have they been reliable.
ie. not had to replace a cell.

Regards
Les
