I made up some simple adapters for my 4s hardpacks for cellogs.
I liked the big cellog board from the canadian porsche project, but wanted something smaller since I'm still playing with form factors.

Comments are welcome. If/when I make a full batch, I'm going to make the drill mount holes bigger (oops - I designed these at the kitchen table at the inlaws) and make the jst mounts full pad size so they can be used for wire mounts for custom harnesses.
I didn't solder the pictured one yet. I had to use pliers to insert the jst connectors, but they fit.
If there is interest, I can kit these up really cheap since the pcb itself is small. Note the space between the celllog connector and the pcb. That's needed with this version unless the black shroud on the cellog is trimmed.

Thoughts?
These are not for sale now, but I'll get a batch made if there's enough interest. I can kit these with connectors for like $5 each and probably go 4 for $15. (That's just a quick approximate price)
 
and I have several 4s Headway packs (12v) that I run in 8s total (24v). So i see a benefit for my packs, surely. :wink:
 
has anyone identified the 9 pin connector that the cell log plugs into? it would be sweet if somebody ordered a bunch to get jobber rates and then split them out to everyone who needed them.

richard had a picture on his cellog hack thread of the pcb where he combined several connectors and heath has his balance current supply pcb design. but it would be useful to have the plug for the cellog and then solder a ribbon cable onto it so you could remote the cellogs up to the console and have the ribbon cable running to the battery location.
