Hi Rich.

I know I'm not Dave, but I do have some experience with this.  It's not 
too complicated, but it will be a little expensive but you probably 
already know that.  You'll probably end up putting them in series to 
minimize losses, and have each battery monitored with little sense 
lines that connect to a charge controller ($$).  This is a common way 
of doing it with NiCd batteries.  I suspect that Li Ion batteries are 
done similarly.  

I can't wait to see what cool thing you're making.  I hope you don't 
let anybody talk you out of it, and try not to electrocute yourself.
