am i correct in understanding that those components mounted on the back are the battery chargers with just the plastic shell taken off? or did you remove/add more to the preexisting components of the chargers?

By the way, I love the idea. Definiatly showing it to my team.

That's correct. There are two circuit boards in the Schumacher battery chargers - the ones you see in this picture, and smaller ones that contain the controls to adjust voltage and current. The only change we had to make was to extend the 5-pin ribbon cable between them so it can run from the back through to the front (as seen in this picture: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=86130).
