I have to agree it was a pain. I think I am going to remove battery and box and redo it alittle nicer when I get bored.

Man where was all this info when I did mine? I cussed that SOB all the way. Never gave a thought to removing the battery box and the PC3 instructions obviously suck compared to the Fuel Pack video.
