Quick note...why does batter 1 on the left matter? My background is in aviation and engine number 1 (and everything else) starts 1 on left facing forward. It's just a logical industry decision that makes sense. And yes, they did mark the batteries on the back 1 and 2 as they are installed, but it's still backwards to me ;)
