Well, I think its time I post my progress so far, I feel a few people get this far and lose interest, especially when they realize how time-consuming processing cells is.
Here are my observations thus far, after processing nearly half the cells I require:
1. I think I am a qualified bomb-disposal tech now....(every time I cut the red wire I feel as if I can dispose of bombs easily.....oh gawd...)
2. Not all Sanyos are heaters...just most of them...
3. My wife has nearly disowned me
4. Nickel off-cuts on the carpet are not fun
All of that and I have not even started the fun stuff.
I have a detailed post of part 1 on my blog.https://www.dirtyoptics.com/diy-powerwall-part-1/
However to sum it up quickly.
I have bulk laptop batteries, I cut them open, I built a charge wall and I am STILL processing cells.... (See attached pics.)
