Product recommendation: to ease the concerns of the state of california (as I assume by that state this is known to cause cancer), have they thought about dipping them in something to cover the lead? A thin rubbery solution?
With the Orion 3200, there's going to be a kit with the narrow 23mm piece that does fit length-wise between the nubs on the bottom of the case, and a piece to fit in the channel on the top of the case. Just like in the pics in the above link. I actually took that 3200 pack and bent the edges of the bottom lead piece and shrink-wrapped the whole thing in clear battery heat shrink. I'll post a pic...

I have some of the Lipo-Lead clearcoated... and that will likely be done with future batches. It's not for environmental issues; only for keeping your fingers clean.
