and Rollem alright guys I just thought I would take a little bit of time today
since I got all those batteries all those cells in or I found all those
cells I needed to start processing and one of the things I want to do is show
you the process that I use for processing my cells and running them
through to make sure that they're all good cells now granted the cells I got
were brand new so I really didn't need to do that but I still run them through
the process like I'm kind of OCD about it I want to make sure that the cells
are just right and I also want to make sure I know exactly what the capacity is
for each one because when I go to group them together it'll make sense when I in
a future video when i show you how i build my packs i want to make sure that
i'm unbalanced size-wise between all my packs and there's some tools online that
will help you do that and I'll show those to you so you can actually see how
to balance your packs so that they're the same capacity across the board
because if you have you know if you have different sizes then what you end up
with is yeah mess just doesn't work right I mean the work that you'll get
better capacity out of all your system if you have a good balance amongst all
your cells across or the battery packs that you put together so I'll cover that
later one of the things I want to show you is I started doing battery
processing our cell processing a probably a little over a year ago and in
that process of starting breaking down laptop batteries and tool batteries and
pulling apart playing the cells out and processing them I worked really really
hard to come up with my first 240 cells it was like forever
I just worked and worked to worked at it I thought I'm never gonna get to 240
cells and right now I'm about in the range of 1300 almost 1,400 cells that
are in the process right now I still have about seven more cases so that's
about 700 more cells but I haven't even thought out of the case yet so I'm
excited to get going with those but I want to show you my process and then
we'll go into other things all right with that so let's jump in and I'm gonna
tear apart a cell and then I'll walk you through even my spreadsheet and I'm
gonna share it with you cuz my spreadsheet is I track everything I need
to know specifics and it may be a little over the top and I don't know anybody
else who does this and call me crazy and that's fine because I am I'm crazy but
I'm gonna give it to you anyways and you can take whatever part of this you find
helpful if it helps you in and processing your cells or at least
tracking or you don't have to use all of it it's just something that I developed
and most the time we're all DIY errs I mean if you're watching this you're
probably a DIY er and you're gonna you're gonna do your own process but
maybe you can glean some things that I do that might be helpful for you so
anyways let's jump into it and I can show you my spreadsheet and the cells
that that I got on that deal so let's get into it
