Hey all, I was originally going to post this in the technical/build section, but figured there may be general interest/curiosity in seeing the puncture tests and disassembled LiPos.
Disclaimer: Everything in this video is DANGEROUS, and the processes described require extreme CAUTION as well as a basic understanding of electronics, tools and soldering. I am not recommending others attempt this procedure, however since many hobbyists already do this type of repair and figured I would share my experience and tips.
FPV racing/freestyle drones are rough on batteries and most of us have at least a few damaged batteries... Instead of trashing the ones I had, each with only a single bad cell, I decided to salvage and rebuild. As part of this salvage process I decide to demonstrate what could happen if you were to accidentally puncture a LiPo with an X-acto knife... Anyway, enjoy!
If you have any questions I'm happy to discuss.
Cheers!
