I had some more mail awaiting me when I got home today.
The battery holder with the built in protection circuits arrived.
I was anxious to get into the garage & get it installed. I got a disappointment. Turns out it's a few mm too big to fit into the space available in the D5 dozer.
Good thing I already ordered 3 of these!

I know I WILL have room to fit ALL 3 of them in, & it will give me 7.2 working volts. NOT as much as I was hoping for, but I'll take what I can get to fit, so I can get this thing FINALLY running! I also ordered one of these.

Afterall 7.4V is better then 7.2
Here's the pic of the battery holder that 3S battery holder that arrived today, sittin gin the dozer. IF I REMOVED
the cab interior, I COULD make it fit. I WON'T do that, as I really want it complete with cab, & all.
