No, not while charging. It was unplugged and no anti-spark plug. One of the batteries went bad. And wouldn’t charge.

YES! Me too. I am thinking of a fixed hinge (on two sides of enclosure, with no hinge-action) with a “rip-cord” attached to the deadbolt(s) so if necessary the pack can be jettisoned to save the board. great minds dot dot dot…

After soldering the wires onto the pins, I applied a small amount of silicone in between the two inner black plastic bits that hold the connector in place and then used heatshrink with a glue lining instead of the outer plastic part. Should hopefully make it pretty watertight.
