I replied with some questions about the safety of this, as I had some concerns when reading it.
Aside from the issue I mentioned in reply, the only real caveat would be "know the basics of working with electronics without shorting things or electrocuting yourself" and "check out some youtube videos on rebuilding 18650 packs so you don't do it in a horribly wrong way".

- strbean 5y agoFair enough. I haven't seen any of the 10%, but I'm sure they're out there. As an alternative to saying "go find info", how's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KDiecphUk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KDiecphUk8 ? I just gave it a quick skip through, but the guy seems to know the correct approach.
- Syonyk 5y agoIf someone on YouTube is soldering directly to terminals, in any form, they're badly wrong and I wouldn't trust the rest of their judgement. I'm not going to evaluate someone's YouTube video on battery repair, sorry. There's no way I can "skip through it" and have any sense of what they're doing, and I generally try to avoid YouTube as a source of information. You'll find far better material on Endless Sphere, though there are plenty of dangerous ideas there.
