I simply cutoff the banana plugs and crimped on an XLR female plug to use the 24V, 3-stage smart charger that I already have. It works well. My batteries are now out of the silver plastic containers and reconfigured--I will be receiving black starboard tomorrow and building a box to house them that will slide into my Currie rear rack. The XLR plug will enable me to charge without opening the case. Here's a photo you can see the CellLog 8 is plugged in as well as the charger. The CellLog's alarm is fairly loud, given the unit's size. I could easily hear it in another room, but I didn't have any other noise in the environment--no TV or radio going.
I need to build another case and I am thinking of making a few improvements this time. Let me know how your box turns out. I want to see how your welder works.
I how to be finishing up on my winter project of installing my Nuvinci hub and a second motor on my Ezip. The 2 motors are mounted and the Nuvinci is installed. I just need to make my chain idlers and setup my wiring and second TS pack (of course I need to build another case for the Ezip rack too). Bob
