Nicely done video @sonicslp. I'd say the only thing I would recommend doing differently would be to only work with one wire at a time. Only cut one wire, solder it, then cut the next and solder it.
I know in the video you cover it with some tape, but I'd just rather be overly cautious and not have to worry about tape. It's a personal opinion, obviously either way works just fine.
Anyways, great info and great video, very nicely done.
Sorry for the spelling error @jondilly1974I never thought of the rubber band to hold the wire back. Great idea @johdilly1974
I like the idea of "smart" batteries like my drones, they can be set to discharge themselves to storage voltage after x days if you don't use them. It would save the battery life, but if they cost 3x to begin with that's 3 standard batteries I could buy before it would make sense to invest in the smart batteries, not to mention a specific charger. 4s drone batteries run around $100 for DJI, etc, proprietary smart batteries, and they still go bad.
No, I'm not or ever will!To be honest, this is the first battery I've actually had to cut a connection off of in a long time, I normally buy batteries with no connectors which come with the wires already protected [obviously] so I don't have to worry about it. I didn't like the idea of just leaving the old connector on there while working on the other wire, it was in pretty bad shape. In that case, I preferred to tape up the wire and then work on the other. But yeah, I always work on one wire at a time, making sure that the other wire is insulated before working on the current wire. Like I stressed in the video, no matter your method, work on one wire at a time and make sure the other wire is protected first.
Thanks for all the feedback!
So I take it nobody is switching over to IC5 yet?
