C3PBRO Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So here is a couple pics of my build so far, pretty proud of it. Only cost $20 for the tactix case, $20 for the wireless card (optional), and the rest i had lying around. The box actually fits two batteries, however the pineapple lasts about 20+ hours running off one with another wireless card attached. The battery is still completely rechargeable using the laptop it came with as a dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just watch your voltages so you don't blow it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadB Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Do you have this wired as two parallel sets of three in serial? So just over 11 volts? .... >> starts searching for old notebooks << .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yabasoya Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 My first experiment with those batteries was when I busted open some battery packs and it contained those blue batteries. I soldered them in series and I got 3.5 X 3 = 10.5 (If I remember correctly) Anyways, I thought I could charge it with a 12 volt charger. I was wrong, I killed the batteries. 12 volt chargers charge at 13.5. So if you were thinking on going that route instead of the laptop charger, just be careful.
