Batteries, revisited

Well, maybe not.. Looks like the turnigy 5Ah is backordered and I don't know when it'll be back in stock, so I'm going with the ZIPPY Flightmax 3000mAh 6S 20C.
Characteristics:
Capacity(mAh)       3000
Config(s)           6
Discharge(c)        20
Weight(g)           426
Max Charge Rate (C) 2
Length-A(mm)        111
Height-B(mm)        47
Width-C(mm)         43


That means I'll need 20 bricks instead of just 12.
The downside is having more connectors and soldering to do, but on the upside it's a smaller brick meaning a better fit inside the triangle.

I thought about placing the batteries in bags like so:


And without the annoying text we get something roughly elegant:
