People,
I have been watching this post for a bit and must confess ignorance concerning these cells. A few questions come to mind:
Can they be charged through a normal, production switch (i.e. Maxx Prod or similar) with built-in charge jack? Or, do they require a special connector for charging (assume use of a cell-pro charger)?
Do they require "balancing connectors"? What is a "balancing connector"?
If one were to build an ignition pack from VPX cells does one have to exercise any 123-specific precautions or methods while soldering to make a two-cell pack?
These cells seem to be a very good alternative to any other cells available. Thanks, in advance, for your replies.
There's a lot of info on my website that may help....

If you're "balancing", they will work okay through a 3 wire switch, IF the orange wire is wired to the "center tap" between two cells (picture/diagram on my website). There is also a link there to the site for disassembly of the bigger DeWalt packs, but overall guidelines would be similar for these smaller. Maxx Prod switches are all that I use.
