It’s not necessary, freezing slows everything down, and I preferred the lower temp, and lock. Not required though.

Got these for simplicity (if SHTF) Seems if they do break that a $2.00 or so electronic part could fix em. Not 100% sure since I haven’t disassembled em yet. For all I know the electronics could be encased in epoxy glue to keep em dry. I hope Not
Nice price’s also!

Did you mean fix?
If so, have you ever worked on surface mount technology? (Genuinely asking, not being sarcastic)
Frequently parts are not even labeled. Aside from that, with SMT, it’s not the price of the parts that’s the issue… It’s usually the fact that you need so much specialized gear to even begin to do anything.
I still would like to own a couple of sets of those “micro tweezer” measurement devices. A nice SMT workstation, and a host of other shit I can’t afford. But $200-$300 a pop for a single set of tweezers makes it kind of hard. It’d be a whole lot easier to justify if I was still doing it professionally.

That’s not surface mount! That’s “old school”. lol
But I get the gist; you have some experience in electronics.
(I thought I remembered something to that effect, but didn’t want to ASSume. chuckles)

Hard to beat the ease/service-ability of old fashioned “point to point” wiring:

The wires (upper-left) that are horizontal and perpendicular to each other (if shorted) short-circuit left battery, and the battery-sleeve insulation is all that stands in the way of short-circuiting the right battery.
BTW - I have found a dynamite inhale-able doctor approved allergy medication (see this advertisement).
