Looking good. I've got 30 cycles on mine and still going strong. These can even handle a 10 amp charge if you want. That's what I use sometimes when it's half depleted. If you can manage it, I think the cells are better off inside the silver plastic case that they came in. The reason being that Thundersky has said that it's a good idea to keep the cells clamped and the casing would provide the clamping together to keep them from bloating. I know one person who is also not using the case and has never used the case for a year so it might be okay but I left mine in the silver case just to be sure. They also sell those clamps somewhere if you want to get them. Mine have never gotten even warm to the touch so you may never have a problem.

EDIT: oh are those velcro straps around the cells? If they are tight enough, that might work also.
