A pair of pliers and some determination says otherwise, sir.
and perhaps a little sanding to clean it up
but you do risk deforming the cell's container and by doing so, render the cell unsafe for usage and in need of e-waste disposal. dendrites forming in the electrolyte are liable to cause the cell to undergo unscheduled thermal runaway (technical term for catching the battery and possibly yourself& your surroundings on fire..) needless to say the cell is definitely never functional after thermal event.
@@zaneandre6387 if your cells are being deformed by pulling off a zinc strip that's barely held on by millimeter-wide spot welds, then you have some seriously shoddy cells, which should be your primary concern. I've pulled dozens of tabs off of batteries then re-welded and used them for high current draw RC aircraft packs with no problems.
@@BillPickle i was talking about what happened to me when i pulled off tabs that were likely machine welded to the battery terminals. perhaps the can was thinner or weaker than others because i hadn't experienced it prior to the cells i repurposed from an old laptop battery pack.
ill concede I have not pulled hundreds of battery tabs.
@@zaneandre6387 I’ve taken apart many Dell and HP laptop batteries for their good cells, never had an issue with messing the casing when pulling out the tabs.

I want to be clear:
There is in absolutely no way you could possibly get electrocuted with this spot welder.
The worry is in the battery cells youre welding exploding in your face for holding the button too long.
You wana make it legit? Put it in a box, create a super simple time delay circuit and put an electrode on the end of that thing.
Legitness
Yup. I'm figuring driving the contactor with a secondary solid state relay and a 555 thingy would make things a bit better controlled.
Yeah I laughed when he said 'electrocution hazard'. The only way you're electrocuting a person with 12V is by ramming electrodes into their brain or chest cavity. And you'd more likely kill them with blood loss or traumatic shock than electrocution.
Definitely a burn and fire hazard as you said though. I want to make one with an adjustable time delay now dammit lol

Us: Did you save money?
Linus: Well yes, but actually no.
Just watched the new warowl vid, did you get it from there? Edit: there is a correct answer.
What I took away from it was: 1. you aren't going to save money by replacing power bank batteries. 2. time and risk make it even less of a deal. 3. Buy an Anker. New powerbanks support newer phone QC methods anyway.
depends on what yo use the spot welder for afterwards, i built one of these years ago to convert power tool battery packs from ni cad to li po started doing it for my own use and eventually ended up making packs and selling them on ebay, made enough to buy a real spot welder and thus far im in the black on the deal. still selling reman battery packs today.

I used a Microwave transformer, 0 gauge welding leads, cheap Solid state relay (5v capable), random momentary switches from the microwave, arduino with LCD and rotator switch for the pulse signal duration, foot controlled switch , old 5v 2a power supply and some other things.
The reason why I needed a precise timer is the difference of half a second to quarter of a second will result in a good weld or a hole in your strip and battery. This way, I don't have to fear controlling the timing. I also 3d printed the case.
The Microwave was gotten for free from Craigslist. Just searched the free section for a broken Microwave. I've used mine enough to warrant the very small cost.
I really appreciate content like this!!! Just some fun stuff that doesn't have to be a solution for a normal person but is great to learn stuff and experimenting
This is why you need ElectroBoom to make the welding pack.
We need to ask ElectroBoom to review this video
@@arjunhamdalah4139 Good idea
@NZgamer and it would use a full bridge rectifier.
I bet it would be safer when its finished tho! Gotta love ElectroBoom. Its amazing people actually do believe the "accidents" he has are genuinely accidental though, the guy is a genius and he can educate the world while also keeping them entertained. Legend.
"DIY" and "Spot welder" are not things I usually want to hear in the same sentence
just like "Makeshift" and "flamethrower"
Same goes for "Making the easy way" and "nuclear weapons"
And yet it worked fine.
My only concern with using a relay would be the contacts could potentially weld shut or stick. I would use something mosfet based. Need some pretty beefy ones though. It would be easier to regulate too as you could PWM it.
@@redsquirrelftw you can get relays purpose built for this sort of thing though.
This was awesome to watch, and I gotta say Anker is definitely a worthy sponsor. All my chargers are Anker and they are awesome, and if you ever run into an issue they always make it right.

If Linus decides to get rid of the beard when all this is over that’s how they should advertise it. Linus gets chased across his lawn by an unmanned lawn mower, gets run over, then gets left on the other side as clean shaven a new-born baby.

"When you solder, you have to heat up the solder itself and flow it on to the materials you're trying to join."
NO! That will get you a cold joint that will have high electrical resistance and break easily. You need to heat the MATERIAL to above the melting point of solder and apply the solder to the MATERIAL. In practice, it helps to add a bit of solder to the iron to help transfer heat and a bit of flux to the material. To join materials, you should "tin" each one first.
edit: and I'll bet that was the cause of the bad connection at 11:33
Yeah... I really don't recommend looking at their videos where soldering is involved 🙈
you're completely right, but lets not pretend that was the most incorrect part of this video lmao
they suck at these things
But the hold problem of heating batteries for a long time still exists
What he said is correct, you do have to both heat up the solder, AND flow the solder on to the materials. The solder will not flow if the materials are not also heated up. If you ever get into soldering SMD packages, this is something that is commonly done, the soldering iron is not a point, but a bit of a well to it which can store solder that you can brush across the contacts to solder due to the contacts being such miniscule mass, they heat up to the proper temperature extremely fast. This is called "Drag Soldering". You do however need keep in mind how much flux you have.
Further, there is the mass production version of soldering called wave solder which is a literal vat of melted solder which the board with parts on travels through and gets soldered.
8:10 this isn't really a mistake because everything you said before it was right, but obviously you are using the capacity of all 4 cells.
Putting cells in parallel increases amp hours while cells in series increases voltage. However, both increase total energy capacity which is essentially current times voltage times time, watt hours.
Edit:
Oah yeah and about 10:17. It's obviously not ideal but it's definitely not going to kill the battery if you do it properly (which you did), so good choice!
This was the comment I was looking for (specifically the edit)
This needs more likes.
current times voltage gives power (watts), not energy (watt hours)
Did you mean "power capacity" as in energy ? because watt hours is not power.
@@koolkimoov yes, that is more accurate. Thanks!
_I'm not gonna fault you at all for your set up. It's awesome!! I've done many Multi-Cell replacements with just Solder and they're fine. Just don't mix different storage cells. Spot-Welding introduces alot more heat than I want on my cells._
You may want to consider adding an adjustable digital timer to your circuit. These are fairly easy to build and may result in better results.
Linus:
don't solder batteries. the heat will kill them
also Linus:
First time uses spot welder and blows up battery....
LMAO
Nope Nope Nope, outside now. Need to get BigClive's explosion containment pie dish
Yeah he probably should have trained on few strip before going on live batteries 🙄

You can solder them if you're fast enough, many diyers do that
Ive blown a lithium ion battery. Samsung one i played with it. It was fully charged and blow. It was scary....
Been watching since the garage days and never realized just how out of order the videos come out until Linus grew a bit of quarantine fuzzies.
Did you make sure all your cells have a similar internal resistance too? thats more important than the voltage

"For my project i need gloves." - He doesn't wear them during actual work - #Lienus

I build a same style spot welder a few weeks ago. I found a great timing relay, which controls the pulse from 10ms to pretty much every reasonable length. This makes it much more reliable, repeatable and its more consistent. The relay module is called XY-LJ02 and can easily be found on Ebay or Amazon for around 15$ locally or for less than 10$ from overseas. I also found using a tungsten needle from a TIG torch as the electrodes super useful. I used copper wire before but it lost its tip shape to fast due to the temperatures. The tungsten electrodes hold up way longer. I just ask someone who does TIG welding if he had any end pieces for me that he would throw away.
for the timing, you can also use a 555 timer in the monostable configuration, with R=1k+100k potentiometer in series and C=10uf
and use like 5 IRFz44 or any high current transistors in parallel on the output.
it's a very easy circuit to make, and requires only a few components :
555 timer, switch, potentiometer, 1k resistor, a 10uf capacitor, some high current transistors, and some 1-10k resistors for pull-up/down on the switch and transistors.
note that you can increase the resistor value if you decrease the capacitor value and vice-versa.
these values are for ~10ms-1s pulses.
note that you can also use an arduino instead, and just switch the transistors with it.
@@satibel is there a circuit plan available?

I didn't care at all about the battery charger, but I was fascinated by that spot welder. I've begun to build my own. I already have an arc welder but that thing is so huge and is a pain to pull out for small projects. I never would have thought to build a smaller one using a 12v battery. Kudos.

When I was going to school to get my A&P, we had a course in welding. It was very short, and more for recognition of terms and techniques rather than to become good welders for aircraft materials. We were doing MIG welding, I think. We had a gun with an element that would get fed through while being surrounded by an inert gas. Keep in mind, we are AMT students, not welding students. We were not as familiar with the equipment as a proper welding student would be.
One of the instructors goes into my both to show us something, or to set something up. I have one of the welding guns in my hand. I'm not sure if I almost dropped it, and caught it, or what. All I know is the filament started coming out. As far as I know, when the filament is flowing, the filament is hot. It has high potential, and the potential for high current. The instructor was right in the line of fire, and being in the booth, had no where to go.
The filament finally stopped. I don't remember how. All I know is there was about 5 ft of filament that came out, and I was extremely nervous about how close it got to the instructor.
I'm pretty sure I could have killed him. You can't imagine how relieved I was the filament stopped, and he had a chance to leave the booth.
Nice! Think I will build one......Thanks!
Under no circumstances, should Linus from Linus Media Group be allowed to possess a DIY spot welder.
hello... SCP we need your help
you're right, but it was a fun video for a change
@@HKgaming86 ha. Ya their videos got so boring for awhile especially with no channelsuperfun
Burns battery and throws it out
Better do everything without my gloves now
Hope you're safe brother. Really enjoying your content
Your DIY spot welder is a good idea.
However, the reason why the switch “appears” to be sticking, is NOT due to the switch.
The solenoid is what is sticking.
The high current is causing the internal solenoid washer to stick momentarily.
This can be overcome by increasing the return spring on the inside of the solenoid.
But, you can’t increase the spring to much, because the coil in the solenoid won’t be able to draw in the piston with the washer, in order to make contact, between the two high current points.
Thanks for the video.

Very good tip, Linus Tech Tips, very good tip. Thank you.
This is nuts! Love it!
I did this project myself a few weeks ago to build myself an Ebike battery and I figured out the best way to get good welds is to have the car battery at about 40-50% charge or about 12.5 volts. this prevented the big sparks and overheating that caused the first weld i did to punch a hole in the cell just like yours did
Title: I spent $100 to save $20!
That just seems like spending $80 with extra steps
He actually saved -$80

Judging by my Linus Beard-O-Meter(TM), this video is old.
Welding goggles or face shield is a good idea with any arc welding.
this was a cool video, more like this please
