DenCo™ - Can you believe it?

This iteration is based on the Mk V, and incorporates the slim 100A BMS and LiitoKala “7Ah” cells which I’ve grown fond of. This and Batt Mk VI were quicker builds for ham friends, and omitted the automotive fuse on the output. The rest of this pack stuck with the tried-and-true design.
