160 cells in 20 packs (yes, I know there are only 16 showing). Total weight before removal from DeWalt container=41 pounds... total weight after removal= 28 pounds. P.S. I cut the charge controllers off. They are internally limited to 15 amps. These guys can output 92 amps per cell, so they obviously had to go. Because I had no intention of using the charge controllers (more on this later), I placed them all in series and arrived at 572.2 volts DC. I then connected a 120 volt light bulb to this and BAM it blew out... imagine that. I momentarily pushed 22800 Watts through the light bulb, causing it to die. Along with the bulb, I blew out the 40 Amp internal fuse on 16 of the 20 controllers. Hahahaha. So much fun.
