Hello, I am in need of some help in trying to rebuild or transform a 6 cell brick pack into a 6 cell stick pack. I have a soldering iron and alittle electrical expierence, but have no idea what series to put the batteries into and things like that.
Thanks for any help.-Steven

well the sequence is easy, just connect the first battery + to the second battery - to the third + to the forth - and so on than connect two cables to the first and last battery ends that remain free (one positive and one negative) and you are done.

Thanks for the reply man. Just to be clear I have this pack now.

And I want to make it into this.

If the strips connecting the batteries together are very thin, you can cut off the pack shrink wrap and "fold" the links to make a twin stick pack (2 rows of 3 cells end to end.)
If they are thick, then doing as the other link showed helps.

End to end can be made fairly easy if you have one of these-> http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/?ap...uid=GF132BCD6B , and a section of either 90° cardboard box edge protector or plastic plumbing tubing cut lengthwise. There's a video on Youtube showing how. (Can't go find it now, hafta go to work, sorry)

But to be honest, I like the side-by-side method better, and would reccomend that before anything else. And if you do go that route, I beleive it's Parma (?), that makes 3.5 inch wide shrink wrap. The standard 2.5 likely won't work (didn't for me). Have fun!

(Yes, new to this forum, don't know how to change the verbiage in links on this system yet. Any tips on where I'd go to learn that?)
