Making your own packs is ok, but it should be approached with caution. It takes proper soldering techniques paying particular attention to how much heat you apply and how long you apply it. You can destroy the battery cell internals with to much heat.

Morning CG. The heat wave is starting to hit us. 6:00 and the temp is 83. I have never used the 123's. Do you need a special charger? I have a accucell 8150. BTW, Virginia smoked ham, Homemade crumpets, sausage and cheese omelet, chock-full-of-nuts coffee and Michigan cherry jam. Hummmmm!!! good

G'Morning, Irish. Sorry for the delay in the reply... I was distracted by work.. ooh.. what's that!!!

It is supposed to surpass well past 90 today and close to 100 tomorrow. No relief in sight from the heat wave... but it IS Summer. Problem with that is, well, it gets to darned hot to fly, or even to go to the beach. The beach sand is hotter than he-double-L...

So, we smother in air conditioning.. ha.. oops.

Banana, Tropicana OJ, Egg-white omlett with veggies. Yum. No java yet.

CGr.
