McGuyver Battery. Possible?

[platysoup]

Guys, I just broke both my 510 auto batteries over the past few days (they were crappy ones you get from the stall, to be fair).

I'm thinking of McGuyvering a ghetto battery up using disposable batteries and some wires. Is it possible? (using CE2 cartos atm - it's all I have)

Any and all assistance is hugely appreciated. My new kit is coming in the mail and I really don't want to get started on analogs again.

i did it for a while at 6v...had no other choice till supplies arrived to build something new.

am deployed and had time on my hands.

electric tape was the concept

haggerd white epoxy was the prototype

black one was the final, but still have ideas for improvement

But are they SAFE? Im a total batts and electronics newbie; dont know anything...

BTW: The black version looks MAD-COOL, in a kinda new vape-PORN category like, heeee!

 

[P3ST1L3NC3]

safe enough i guess. they are tenergy lifepo4 batteries, which are pretty safe, no protection circuit required on those batts.

just hook a cell phone battery to it with 2 wires and a button. use the connector from your dead battery

Mind you melder215 !

I wouldnt think this to be safe!!! Check this before using, please! Better be safe than sorry...!!!!!

I've never thought of a cell phone battery, perfect voltage and all! and when you don't want to talk to the gf, just take ur batt out and vape

 

[vapedraper]

Oh and revolver, it works just fine! im sitting in the library doing work and my batt just died. A paperclip, phone battery and filled carto is all you need!

 

[revolver]

I dont doubt that...
My concerns, though, are about the safety of it?

Isnt it possible it may explode on your face?
I wouldnt really know...

Maybe an expert should chime in and fill us in on this...!

 

[vapedraper]

Essentially no, cartos and attys are nonpolar (interchangeable positive/ negative arrangement) and the resistance of the atty limits current flow (by getting nice and hot) so the battery isn't really going through that much strain (like if you shorted it for a while).

Ill let you know that you will get some pretty awesome looks from bystanders with this act

I bet....!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Getting to think about it... You shouldnt go public on this...!

 

[vapedraper]

I was hoping the other library goers wouldnt mistake this as wiring an explosive... Now that would be a poor situation lol

I'm sure Fox News would have a great time with that story. lol

One could only wish to get so famous

cell phone batteries have a protection circuit built into them. any fear is unbiased.

You mean... "Biased"... Right?

Well... I wouldnt really know... But maybe that safety feature would work within the phone's system... mmmm...

I dont know anything about batts... And I am totally biased when it comes to fears... Heee!
