I recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.
Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.
This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.
So, I decided to open up the dead battery…
I was NOT happy with what I found inside!!
Electric cars, e-bikes, e-scooters: they all use lithium-based batteries, and they all seem to burn very well.
While many agencies and officials claim traditional cars are at higher risk of bursting into flames, we don’t seem to hear so much about them in the news.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that EV battery fires are VERY nasty.
So, question is: Why??
In the olden days, you had this thing called a car battery. Lead, acid, you’re done.
Nowadays, there are so many different types of lead-acid batteries. Plus, everyone will give you different advice on which battery to choose.
Is it for a car with Start and Stop? Can you use a new-fangled battery in an old-fangled vehicle?
Which one lasts longest? Gives you the most energy? The best bang for you buck?
Read on for a simple guide to lead acid batteries!
Everything these days is powered by batteries: power tools, mowers, cars, etc.
But why does this even work?
A quick look at the power provided by lithium-based batteries should make even armchair techies cringe!
Something doesn’t add up… So, what’s the secret?

So, what’s The Secret?
I’ve been looking for a cheap battery tab spot welder for 18650 lithium-ion cells for awhile now.
The usual ones just aren’t worth the cost. For example, for half the cost of a welder, I could buy at least 2 brand new power tool battery packs.
Enter the $16.99 Portable Mini Spot Welder!
At that price, it was worth a shot…
You’ve got a cordless power tool or two. And that means you’ve got some over-priced Li-ion battery packs to run them.
What about cheaper aftermarket packs?
Are they good? Are they crap? Are they worth it?

If you’ve got any kind of gizmo – laptop, tablet, e-book reader, cell phone, MP3 player, cordless screwdriver or drill, etc. – then you’re using lithium-ion batteries all the time.
Lithium-ion batteries, often abbreviated as Li-ion, are extremely common these days.
But what about so-called Lithium Polymer batteries, also called LiPo or Li-poly batteries? Are they really better?
If you believe the marketing folks, yes they are. But, as it turns out, you’ve been fooled just like me!
