Just Lego blocks....sorta

Continuing from the last post I'm in the process of installing new batteries in the Vue. The new lithium batteries come in the form of a 3.2V cell. The cells are then bound together in groups of four to form a ~12V battery.

Here are pictures of four individual cells bound together using metal banding.

This is a picture of the blocks of cells in the battery box.

And here are the cells installed.

This picture show the charger mounted on the battery box. You can also see some of the holes in the box that help with dissipating any heat produced during the charging.

Next step will be starting to connect all of the batteries together.
