also the updated design is visible here https://github.com/bkw777/REXCPM_UPS The schematic now also documents which pins are which on the rexcpm too just for convenience & reference. You *could* got ahead and export gerbers and order boards right now without waiting. But I have a set on the

Yes to most of your understanding, not yet on the 4-cell test. I just ordered the pcb's yesterday so it'll be about a week. Although there is not much to actually test about the updated board. It's just more of the same. It's the same circuit. All it changes is adding more celles and a ground
