I pre-laid out these batteries on the floor to guestimate what the connections between the terminals were. I've got an e-mail into ElectroAuto for some connection diagrams, but haven't received the files yet. A modification of the prior strap is basically what is suggested in the DC kit instructions.

To allow enough room for wire connections and put the pieces in roughly the right place, I had to angle some of them. I think that's it for today.
