I am thinking about using "butt splice" connectors to extend the cables. Is it safe enough?

and not worry about fuses to change etc, i mean if you solder a fuse - its a pain to change it - i never had one blow or trip on any chair so far - so it shouldnt but in the event it did - would be easier with a breaker -

when you say a BIT - what does that mean - Did you charge each Cell with the PL 8 Full and left them ALONE for a MONTH or TWO ? at least a MONTH is fine - before you continue ?

Yes I had fully charged each cell when I got them. They have now been sitting for a few weeks. I'm charging them back up. I numbered each cell when I first charged them.
I'm looking for the capacity returned to each cell? This one is 179mAh.
Dan wrote:It was a few weeks. Just checked the date they were charged. It was early July so they haven been sitting about eight weeks.
Highest returned so far is 275mAh, the lowest is 105mAh.

Yes, I hope so. I bought 18 15AH cells in July.
