Drained 10s4p battery, need help

This is a list of awesome and safe battery builders in our community, depending on your location any of them can build you a pack (likely with better cells, better performance, and better longevity)

It’s good to see somebody being receptive to the experts around here, you might be surprised by how many people will 1: ask for help with a dead battery 2: get told by experts that battery isn’t safe. 3: get combative and/or ignore said experts and decide that a house fire isn’t THAT bad, wash rinse repeat.

Like @sevenfloorsdown says “another day another Doug”

I wish you the best of luck, it also may be worth doing a bit of research on lithium ion batteries, depending on their handling lithium based batteries can be incredibly volatile and unsafe, any questions you have someone here is sure to know, just ask here before you do anything with a battery that you’re not fully and entirely confident in your ability to do and understanding of risks.

And if it wasn’t already clear,
GET THAT BATTERY OUT OF YOUR HOUSE AND AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE.

Here’s why:

(esk8 sized battery explosion)

(Approximately 5-10wh battery ~1/100 the size of a “normal” esk8 battery)

(Big esk8 battery)

(Not sure of pack size)

Edit: I don’t intend to fear monger at all, and I hope this doesn’t come off that way. I just think it’s important that everybody understands the risks we all take when using and handling lithium batteries.
