When you get the harness, there is one red wire and 6 black wires. The red goes to "pac positive". I put it right next to the red main power lead going to the deans. For series, there will be one more wire than # of cells. One pac positive and one wire on each. Parallel shouldn't be diff.

If you looked at the RCGroups how to, I did pretty much everything he did, except my 5 cells were in a side by side flat pac arrangement. Number them like he did and wire them in sequence - the 2nd wire in the harness, next wire down from the red wire - the 1st black - is the neg for the cell you used as pack positive. The rest - follow the numbers you put on the cells in order on the plastic connector.

Nice thing - mock this up and connect it and see if it works before you make anything permanent. Some solder will need flux to stick on the tabs, I didn't solder to the cells themselves and Deans solder didn't need flux.
i should have them by tomorrow...i am sure i am gonna screw it up
