mrcarcrazy,

Thanks for the compliment, but one is enough for me. I take way too much time to be able to charge a reasonable amount.

TheViper,

Thanks! I wanted a setup that would be very stable and could use factory Lotus battery cover. I'm also scared of having the battery contacts exposed. I've seen enough unintentional arc welding to last me a lifetime.

BTW, I updated the battery mount PDF to show the proper bending sequence.
