I'd be interested in a few more details on the interior of the canister. What did you use to hold the batteries in place and have you thought about using rechargables instead? And where did you scavenge the underwater connectors?

The batteries are tied to each other with solder, tabs and heat shrink. They're just sitting inside the PVC pipe, no extra hardware to hold them in place. The batteries are 16550 lithium ion rechargeable batteries. I'm not really using any underwater connectors, but I purchased the cable glands from oxycheq.

In related news, the smaller canister flooded, and I haven't yet taken the time to rebuild it.
