not yet specified; no target capability or first-build order is established. Cycling ranges, state logging, charge profile, thermal/fire containment and independent safety cutoffs unresolved; prior power/controller/calibrated meters must be available.
Making outline
- Assemble independently referenced isolated source/load formation bench with physical current-control/cutoff module and programmable host interfaces
- Detailed procedure and acceptance remain unresearched.
What remains unresolved
- Full inventory, required quantities, process settings, numerical demand and suitability remain open.
- Current memory-first method needs source and compatibility review.
