No, he did not.

He merely repeated these were designed as a "storage" battery...not to be used as a starting one.

Friendly folks, so I'm sure they'd be glad to discuss it further if interested.

Not the battery being discussed.

Question Cad file?

Has anyone made a cad file for a battery box shim for a shorai battery in a pc680 battery box? Figured I?d check here first. Seems like it would be a neat 3D printer project.
