Just assembled a cell, I did it this way.
+N(nut)N-(nut)-N(nut)N+
where the neurtals are elctrically connected by the nuts inbetween and there are TWO - plates in the center of the cell connected electrically by the nuts in the center. every other plate not separated by the (nuts) have plastic washers in between..
thoughts? evaluate my design! pic:
EDIT: i just noticed the strap I have right in the middle may or may not be a good Idea, it's like 1/4 the size of one plate so technically there are 2.25 plates right in the center of the cell..
