3.7v Li-ion battery pack:

Important Note about this battery pack: the positive and negative leads were reversed when I compared it to the plug on the Wisblock board. Use a needle to lift the tiny plastic clips at the end of the wire holding the metal leads in place. Then you can pull them out (don’t force it) and slide them back each into the other side. BE SURE TO VERIFY the polarity with the Wisblock plug. You can damage the board if you put it in backwards!

2” metal washer with 5/8” hole

Rubber washer with 5/8” hole

Zip-ties, screws, etc.

A step-bit like this one is SUPER handy to drill the 5/8” holes in the junction box. I also had to use it to increase the size of the hole in the metal washer since it came with only a 1/2” hole.
