I suspect that’s a little BMS there attached to the side? Where did you get your cells? And the circuit board? I like the size factor. At 32aH it seems much smaller than my Bioenno 20aH.

I really enjoy the variety and diversity of federation. There are subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences each instance brings. It’s refreshing.

The information superhighway. What a wild time.
