Building an A123 stick pack in Xs2p Format

[BrianG]

Nice write up MM!

How do you keep the solder from wicking along the braid so you keep a bendable area clear of solder? You must be using a fairly hot/hi power iron so the actual soldering is fairly quick (~5 sec max).

To make a stacked 3s2p pack (for a total of a 6s2p pack), it sounds like it would be fairly easy to make two 3s2p packs and then simply connect them using a braid at the end.

Do you have pics of the actual process? It might help people visualize a little easier with the actual parts used...
