A simple rechargeable hand drill is used to open the panel holes for buttons and each

I used a draimel also to make the opening for the voltometer.

After you attach the parts on panel use a hot gun glue to secure everything tight

the red line at picture is the positive rail connection of the power bank.

Have done separately the negative connections on the other picture with black lines to make this clear and easy...

Every cable connection is made with pin connectors and heat shrinkable plastic for best insulating
