Charles, Thanks for the update. I was able to get a cable plug set from Todd Micallef.

Re: [volt-nuts] 732A rear panel battery connector
I have a 732A without the battery plugin, and I already have a standby 24V supply in my lab. Has anybody tried to create the needed bits in the middle of that combination before ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. ___ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Yes, I have laid out a pair of boards that has the battery module circuits on them. One board plugs into the mainframe (it has the thermistors on it) and the other has the rest of the circuitry. I have not ordered them yet... I need to buy the festoon lamp connector and have been waiting until I have to order some more parts from Mouser. What I didn't do is try and build the whole battery module with all the mechanical parts/frame/etc. I may laser cut a back panel piece, though, out of acrylic. ___ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
