Has a "recipe" for a grid charger/balancer been finalized? I am capable of doing the actual grid charger/balancer building and installation of the necessary attachment to the battery itself (I think), but I have no idea where to buy the necessary parts. Can someone please assist me in finding the necessary parts in Europe and preferably in Sweden?

Jim,
You turned off the battery switch, right?
Leave it off after you get the car until you have had a chance to charge it.
