Hey everyone, I just wanted to add a quick safety note regarding this video. In one of the clips, I cut open a battery, which can be dangerous if not done properly. Please be aware that attempting to cut open a battery yourself can result in injury or damage to your property. If you're an experienced DIYer and must handle batteries, always wear protective gloves and eyewear, and dispose of them safely. For those who are new to this, a safer option is to first open the end of the battery and empty its contents, then cut it open. Please remember to always exercise caution and follow proper safety protocols when handling batteries. Stay safe and enjoy the video!
please follow the main video for schematic and all detail

Lipo pouch batteries need room to expand and contract. Encasing then in epoxy creates an explosion hazard.
Nope, you need it in the video. Im reporting you.
yeah like this is a very bad idea. Buy rechargable and just do that instead of this janky diy which will cause the battery to explode.
bruh. experienced DIYer. the point of DIY is that anyone can do it. if its dangerous you need to say it in the video. what you're is harmful. stop.
You needed to say so.. on the video
Reported, for dangerous content
Don’t do this, buy rechargeable AA batteries instead
it is a good way for busy guys.
@@InnovaDIY wouldnt "busy guys" save more time from just buying batteries?
@@InnovaDIY busy people would just have a stockpile of batteries 😂
don’t make fun of innovas english
@@InnovaDIY Busy guys who have very specific chips lying around.
This could go wrong in so many ways, starting with cutting into the battery to begin with.
Thanks for you opinion, please follow us
Thats not an opinion, cutting a battery is dangerous and most people shouldn't be doing it.
@@InnovaDIY I do.
completely agree with you
@@InnovaDIYthis is dangerous on so many levels

Confidential tip: Modern wireless mice require very little voltage. If you have AA cells that no longer work in other devices, they can still work in these mice for weeks or even months.
Thanks
They can’t
well i have an oldie that sucks more juice than ...
i cannot let alkalines sitting there for more than a month
Clocks....i stick all low Batteries inside clocks to polish them off. Once they're at 0.00v they're done for and i can recycle them.
True. Also one more tip. If even your mouse don't want to work with this battery, just take it out, smash it against a ground and it's good for few weeks, maybe a month. I has one battery which refused to die for over 5 months. Just had to smash it more and more often xD
Also it's completely safe, alcalic batteries are safe even fully charged. I've been doing this for years and nothing bad ever happened
Instructions unclear, the laptop is charging now
Oops
If it’s not already obvious, never ever do this. You can buy rechargeable batteries that don’t require you to try and kill yourself to make
Agree it's not worthwhile - but this procedure won't kill anyone. That's ridiculous.
@stevealexander8010 it will

Most alkaline batteries are 1.5-1.6V
So no, just use nickel accus.
Guys please don't get me wrong... But i think its a lot cheaper, easier and saver with just buying an rechargeable battery...
it is a good way.
Its not so much about the ability to just buy it. Its the experience of making it. I understand why dude would do it just to do it.
Rechargeable batteries have a low voltage of up to 1.3 volts and may not be enough for some equipment. Here he built a full-fledged lithium polymer battery with a maximum voltage of up to 4 volts.
Ppl who don't know about electronics commenting that. Man DIY is so good to do.
Super easy! All you need is: proper tools, adequate wiring skills, a soldering kit, very precise movements, extreme caution to avoid hazardous contact or interactions with an exposed battery, a detailed knowledge of electronics and circuitry, and then your all set!!!
Exactly what i was thinking. 😂
Thank you. I have decided to buy a new battery
yes
Cutting that open gave me flashbacks of when I was 13 and lithium battery exploded and left a nice permanent acid burn on my chest. 😵💫
take care
@@InnovaDIY They is not gonna open a battery even again and now you tell them to "Take Care"
that's more like base burn, which is more severe

@@Hyjaxaru you can cut down carbon batteries like this it's not goin' to explode. I think you probably cut a lithium battery.
Don't matter what people say......that was really creative!!
Thanks for your support.

And that's how my house exploded.
;)
If you can make an alkaline battery explode a house by cutting it - you'll get a Nobel prize. Hyperbole isn't your strong suite.
Do not use lithium batteries for this, as they will explode if you puncture them.
All batteries, including ordinary ones, can be potentially dangerous if punctured. When a battery is punctured, it can cause a short-circuit, which may lead to an explosion or fire.Lithium batteries with a built-in safety circuit, also known as protection circuit modules (PCMs), can provide an additional layer of protection against overcharging, over-discharging, and short-circuiting. These safety circuits are designed to monitor the battery's voltage and temperature and cut off the power flow if any of these values exceed safe levels.
watch the video and all safety design

well dont puncture them bruh
@@InnovaDIY well, why did you make this dangerous tutorial then?
Or any battle try for that matter

This is already a thing you can buy off the shelf.
Rechargeable batteries have a low voltage of up to 1.3 volts and may not be enough for some equipment. Here he built a full-fledged lithium polymer battery with a maximum voltage of up to 4 volts.
@@leviofanh yes they make those. Lithium batteries with a USB plug, AA size and voltage.
@@leviofanh There are lithium rechargeable batteries as well.
@@leviofanh Check out "14500"Li-ion batteries. It's what you've been waiting for.
I've always wanted to do this or something similar. Like even more fundamental such as a clock spring inside a battery driving a really small generator, you wind up the clock spring by twisting the battery top for unlimited portable off-grid power.
For all you saying just buy rechargeable batteries instead. Sure, if you just need rechargeable batteries, that will do. But if you want to gain an immensely beneficial skill instead, follow tutorials for brilliant projects like this. 🎉
People… Please don’t do this…
Especially if you used a wrong battery thats doesn't work with this , you will create a homemade bomb
the lithium battery has a safety circuit don't worry about that.
the battery completely discharge and don't have any problem
@@InnovaDIY no it doesn’t
@@TheDailyKnife009what doesn't?
1. He used safety circuit which protects battery.
2. If the battery he cutted wasn't discharged, then how could he even upload this video?😂

이 AA 배터리는 2시간마다 충전을 해 주어야 합니다. 리니어 타입 레귤레이터인 AMS-1117을 사용하기 때문이죠.
Thanks for your useful data
don't try that. he specifically wired the battery differently between sequences. what he showed was a USB killer. don't risk your devices.
please watch the main video the circuit completely safe and sound.

that isn't an usb kiler,still very dangerous if you know how to do it for for it. (don't use lithium)

It seems he mentioned the toy mouse
Adult toys also need batteries 😂
🤣🤣
someones kid will definitely set their house on fire after this
I hope parents be careful of child.
@@InnovaDIYI hope so too
I really love the PCB less recreation of tp4056 charging. Unlike other crappy DIYers that just connect the battery to usb directly or add up a resistor
The TP4054 would have been instead a game changer here.
I hope the creator is okay, this comment section become more toxic than the battery powder
Very nice, but AMS1117 will drain this little battery in couple hours. Try TLV733 series, with low Iq current and enable pin, that can be used to set an undervoltage lockout
Thanks a lot l
Drain AND break it because of the lack of a overdischarge protection
The 1st part of the video: How to blow up your house tutorial
no it is not dear you can cut the discharge battery by considering all safety.
This looks so much quicker and easier than just setting my house on fire using matches
For those who say they are going to blow up the house because they do not have precautionary measures... we present to you: make a casing the size of the AA battery with another material and make the + and - contacts out of aluminum
I don't know, shell paper or cardboard paper
Don't, simply don't. Most batteries are toxic. Even it is a zinc carbon battery, don't. Lithium batteries are dangerous and must be handled with care. There are many things that can go wrong here. It simply doesn't worth toxiticy and fire risk.
Thanks for mention
It could blow up if exposed to water
ZnMn (alkaline) non-rechargeable batteries contain zinc, manganese dioxide & potassium hydroxide. Zinc is "mostly harmless". Manganese dioxide is a strong oxidizing agent but- it's not very active. Potassium hydroxide is caustic. Yes these are "toxic", the same sense as laundry detergent, bleach, drain-cleaner and motor oil. The excess fears ppl have over common chemicals reminds me of school-children screaming "stranger danger". MOST things on this planet are "toxic", but just use common sense; eye protection and gloves.
Lipo pouch batteries need room to expand and contract. Encasing then in epoxy creates an explosion hazard.
I was thinking the exact same thing, so many lithium ion batteries in phones after years of use tend to blow up in size, with all that pressure in the epoxy it’ll blow open with even more pressure causing an instant fire and lithium flying everywhere. Please dont fucking diy batteries. Its not safe. At all.
nice fact and as if the entire video wasn't a hazard itself
I remember a similar thing being on sale at my local Fry's Electronics (RIP). There were rechargeable AA and AAA batteries that had Micro USB connectors on their sides that could be charged by USB. The only drawback was that their capacities were quite low, only just over half of what a typical battery of that size would be.
everything aside, this is actually a really smart idea for rechargeable batteries, this is something that should be manufactured
Thanks for your comment dear.
Instructions unclear, battery exploded and corroded the environment, police are outside
You sort of reinvented the wheel there by making an unnecessary complex rechargeable battery - I like it :)
don't buy a car, build one from scratch instead
Why not?
When you feel useless remerber this guy is still on our planet 😕
Is smart use a 2000 mah battery to make a 200 mah battery?
good mention , Thanks
Well they do sell them for pretty cheap with large capacity. I would say 30 dollars for 4 good ones is better.
If this took less then 10 minutes...? it still costs too much. Not worth my free time to do such things.
This isn't a battery. I mean it is, but you think is that the rechargable battery. Converting a 2000mah battery to a 200mah rechargable battery sounds stupid, cuz you need to charge it up 10 times just to earn back the ruined 2000mah.
Instead of doing this to new batteries, use dead ones or just do what everyone do: buy 2000mah or even higher capacity rechargable AA Batteries like GP recyko, recyko+/pro series with 2000, 2500, 2700 or even higher mah capacity.
@@TyphoonWarface that is a better option
@@TyphoonWarface do NOT use GP 2700mAh, those are very bad and should be never bought (GP ReCyco 2000mAh are fine). Atrocity in the video is way worse than those.

@@InnovaDIY конечно, делайте, если хотите
@@InnovaDIY wrong. Lithium ion cell here is way too small and there should be SWITCHING regulator instead of lineal one. Both of those greatly limit output capacity and output current to way below capabiities of Alkaline chemistry.
У меня мыш с акб, зарядки хватает месяца на три, смысл так извращаться
When the new battery cost is slightly more than the previous one
Yes, but it is for DIY and learning
Keep in mind this is a single battery, it would need multiple usb wall plugs, you can get thise docks that charge 30 wireless batteries at a time.
I have never seen someone solder SMD components with such a gigantic friggin tip. While I don't think this project is especially great, respect for the soldering skills
Thanks for sharing
or you know
you could buy a pack of these usb rechargeable AAs or AAAs for like 10usd online 🤷♂️
I gurantee
Even if you have to import them and pay customs and stuff its still cheaper XD
Work smart not hard totally agreed 😂
Yes bro
This SHOULD go without saying but please do not do this this is extremely dangerous
Please watch the main video in our channel to prevent danger. The battery is discharged, so you can cut it
Great idea! In it's current state it's pretty impractical though, in my opinion.
However you could easily improve the design with some 3D printed adapters for D and C cells. If you were to take that route though I would also suggest making the base unit a AAA size cell and print AA, D, and C cell adapters. That way it would be insanely versatile and definitely worth the effort! 😉
Again, super cool idea!
Thanks for the tips! it is nice idea.
These are the clips that everyone watches, says "oh cool" then ignores, and honestly it's a good thing.
Especially when it comes to batteries and recharging, you should explicitly state the materials used. If people actually tried to follow this short, not everyone would know important details like would this work with lithium batteries, what happens if you solder the connections in the wrong spot, what they can and can't plug this into, etc.
Thanks dear for mentioning important tips.
puting the resin inside would trap the heat created from leds and other mini components of the chip and would burn it and stop working soon
Thanks for your opinion, the heat can be generate with the 180mAh battery is not too much
he said it would get trapped, this thing is going to be constantly generating heat, all of that heat would get trapped.
Duracell owner joined the chat😂😂
Youre smart, and thats it. Dont let people tell you otherwise.
Wouldn't this output 3.7 volts? AAA batteries are 1.2~1.5 volts
please watch full video it has a circuit for controlling voltage.
th-cam.com/video/wBzO2YOtnBQ/w-d-xo.html
@@InnovaDIY no
I see, thanks
output 4.7 volts, this module increases the output voltage
I dont care for negatives but process of making it just mind-blowing.😅😂 At least he tried something different.
Thanks a lot
Bloody oath Sufi! Yes it reduces the capacity down to probably 10-20% of the original but WOW!! The build is massively impressive!
Thanks
To add to everything been said, tp4056 is just charging ic, there is no protections, especially overdischarge protection. So you battery will probably go under safe voltages before device that uses it will stop working and since you used linear voltage regulator, it has standby current of about 2mA, so even when you are not using the battery, it will overdischarge in a few days. This will quickly kill capacity of battery you used.
As many of viewers said: simply don't do this. There are many of reasons.
I found one more. In the video he's using TP4056 board with 1.2k current setting resistor (0:23). This mean charging at 1A. Lithium batteries should be charged with 1C current, so connected battery should have at least 1Ah (1000mAh) capacity for that current. You're basically destroying your 200mAh cell with that. This only increases potential fire risk with your handicraft.
Я думал, что это будет флешка. А тут... Перезаряжаемая батарейка на микрцхе ТР4056
Yes
А напряжения разные, было 1.5в стало 3.7в, мышь скорее умрет, или в мыши стабилизатор есть?
With the LDO we decrease the voltage to 1.5v in the project. Please follow the main video in the channel.

Modi ji be like :- koi baat nhi Editor ko Oscar award dunga 😂😂😂
Writing from heaven, I died trying this. Even if i survived i would probably die from the heavy metals inside the battery 2 or 3 years later.
nice comment :)
No heavy metal found inside that battery. Zinc is lightweight metal and is needed for your normal body function. Same for potassium and manganese. Ammonia and chloride aren't metals but not that dangerous (literally they are salts). Carbon is nontoxic.
Oh boy time to cut into my used battery!
Famous last words
thanks for consideration Please be careful and prioritize your safety.
Looks like a fire waiting to happen 😅😅😅
😊😊😊

They sell li-ion USB AA batteries like this, but I think with higher capacity since they have cells that fill more of the space in there. Or of course get ni-mh rechargeable batteries and don't waste 1/3 of the space inside holding a USB plug and battery management circuit.
nah amazon is way easier than doing this
if you are busy definitely.
very well 👏

Its definitely a cool idea, but imagine the battery dies out and you accidentally throw it away thinking its a normal battery 😂
Primary AA cells give 1.5 V when new.
NiCads or Ni-Metal Hydrides give 1.25 V when charged. 0.9 V or less is when a cell is considered too dead to be useful.
Não compensa todo essa mão de obra, só vale por que é uma forma de ensinar.

th-cam.com/video/wBzO2YOtnBQ/w-d-xo.html
this build is nonsense, you did not make anything that CAN be charged, you only placed the electronics that are NEEDED to charge something (by convert voltage and possibly the amperage a little) into the hollowed-out outer shell of what WAS a battery. it makes no sense at all.
Hope you like being sued because if someone does this and messes it up, and becomes hurt you are liable for their injuries and or death.

Theres already usb rechargeable batteries out there like this. I have some for AAA, AA & 9V. The capacity is low but it pays back over time with something like a remote where it doesnt matter much and is low in power consumption.
When I didn't read the title, I thought it was a secret USB memory for hiding with a battery.
nice concept, thanks for sharing.
