Not a video (yet). Really hard encapsulation.
Added 2020-07-21 19:58:26 +0000 UTCThe picture is of a tiny circuit board that fits on the end of a lithium cell in a high profile Jugee rechargeable AA cell that puts out a solid 1.5V for most of the discharge and then 1V to signal that its running low and is about to cut off.
This was supposed to be last nights video, but has been very frustrating due to a very hard glass-like resin that won't dissolve in acetone and seems quite heat resistant too.
I'll keep working on it, but tonight's video will be about an ozone generating pink ring instead.

I've been looking for lipo AAs. Banggood bailed on my order of jugees and the other brands on eBay and Amazon look sketchy. My son has numerous battery operated thingamabobs and some really don't like the low power of NiMH .

2020-07-22 09:29:48 +0000 UTCI'm very interested, as I bought some of these batteries, AA & AAA. Jugee and Palo are Lithium Polymer, I have bought both brands. The have their own USB charger. The Jugee charger will charge the Palo batteries and vice versa. They charge the batteries from the normal terminals. I also have Kentli Lithium Ion batteries, these have a special charger that charges from a different point on the top of the battery, not on the normal terminal connection, which is used for output only. I'm very happy with the performance of these batteries.

2020-07-21 21:28:47 +0000 UTCTry dissolving the resin with methyl ethyl ketone., it's a bit more aggressive at dissolving polymers than acetone.
2020-07-21 21:07:37 +0000 UTCIt puts out a solid 1.5V and in test was around 2500mAh. Possibly nudging 3000mAh, but my test rig would have dropped the discharge current when the voltage cut down to 1V.

2020-07-21 20:33:39 +0000 UTCOOH! do these work well? I love Eneloop style low self-discharge cells *BUT* so many electronics cheap out and don't have a boost converter so it's hard to use the 1.2v cells in them.
