Your dad's "old" Dewalt packs? Dewalt started using the A123 cells maybe around 6 months ago, so anything older won't have A123 cells.

The A123 cells have a vent on one end (not sure if it is the + or - end), and that shouldn't be covered up. I'll be using sub-c battery bars with a hole in the middle to solder the A123 cells together in a side by side way, so that the vent won't be covered up.

"P" stands for parallel, so 2p is two cells in parallel (twice the capacity and twice the current handling capabilities compared to one cell).

BTW, my PM box is no longer full :D.
