Default RE: Making my own battery


ORIGINAL: JohnBuckner

I solder custom servo extensions, custom harness and multiple Y chords for special needs all the time however I prefer not to solder flight packs when there are so many complete packs on the market now at reasonable prices.

Much rather be cuttin' wood.

I have killed a cell soldering my own, that's why I use the plastic holders for the Eneloope packs. I only have the two packs I made up using the Eneloope's and I have battery Plus make up all my other packs, even my TX pack. By having them made up I get fresh batteries but they don't have the Eneloope's in stock. I buy those in the camera store and they have the nipples on the end. I'm thinking I should just buy a few packs of the Envelops and have Battery Plus solder them up for me and shrink wrap them. It just saves space compared to those plastic holders. Been using them for a couple years now without any problem though. I can even have the AAA packs made up for me at B+ if I'm looking to save weight and still need high capacity.
