Hi Peeps,,

hogjowles.. YES! you were participating in the discussion that inspired me,, but I think it was the other dude's car (I can't find thread) that had 2 vertical cells,,

For you other mad modders out there,,,,,

If there are others out there who have some mad fabrication skills,, this vertical 2 cell mod can have interchangeable battery packs. All you have to do is make the charging contacts longer so they contact the batteries,, and make another metal contact for the top that holds the batteries down (by attaching to the front cover screw) and connects the 2 in series. This way all you have to do to change batteries is to loosen the front cover screw and remove the battery hold-down connector. Thus the batteries are not even subject to soldering, but for the PCB you still need some passable soldering skills.
(a future weekend mod,,,,,)

And thanks for everyone's kind words
