Using Raw Li-Ion Cells with a Protection Board
I need a small Li-Ion charger/protection board for a 3 cell (series) pack, i.e. If I understand this correctly, this is for use only with unprotected Li-Ion cells because it has the protection circuit...

Boring old connectors -- 7.5A, smallest possible
So, I'm looking for the smallest possible connector that's rated for 7.5A or more. This one is looking OK: The size is reasonable for my application, but the mating housing only takes up to 18-gauge...

HOTs *can* handle 1200V
In fact, most HOTs (Horizontal Output Transistor -- 1500Vcbo, 5-20A, Vce(sat) 2-5V @ hFE = 2.5) handle 1600-1800V at breakdown. Most trigger in avalanche rather slowly (~100ns), though I've seen a few...
