Today Matthew & I did Inventory and cleaned, everything was accounted for.

We measured the voltage of all the batteries, organizing them into groups to be put into banks.

Today was a lot of just charging the batteries, taking measurements on voltage and amperage, and putting it all into a table.

Today Matthew wasn't here :(

We also had some issues, as one of the batteries (pictured below) needed to be rethreaded in order to make proper connection. This set us back about a day, at this rate all packs will be charged in about a week. I also went in with a non-torque insulated wrench and tightened all the bolts so we quit having so many connection problems.

Today we moved from the 3rd bank of batteries to the last bank to charge. Please note the only reason the wrench is set on top of the batteries is because not only is it insulated, but also because the bank it's on top of isn't charged. Do not place a wrench on top of the batteries like pictured below.

Today was probably the most eventful day since we put these batteries in the pack together. As today we had to unwire the batteries, install the Compression Plate into the car itself, and then insert the batteries into the newly installed Compression Plate.

We finished wiring the bottom half of the batteries (pictured below) and almost finished wiring the top half of the batteries. However as we were tightening one of the last bolts, the head snapped right off and we had to have the remaining part of the bolt drilled out, setting us back by about a day.

We got the battery that had the broken bolt reinstalled and wired up, meaning we have completed wiring the battery pack in a series circuit.

Today was pretty much the final day of actually doing anything with the batteries (before disassembly of course). We attached the final wires the car needed to connect to the batteries.
