minus-squaredanieljoeblacklinkfedilink4•10 months agoI’ve actually been collecting reusable capes to pull out the batteries and convert them into powerbanks, crazy these are bing tossed after a single charge. Some of the batteries are pretty big too!
minus-squareChaoticNeutralCzechlinkfedilinkEnglish1•10 months agoDid you find any with actual 18650s? Those are most useful in “DIY powerbanks”. Just remember to add fuses, the chip could go short circuit!
