Remember to give your battery pack a good wash before installing it into the board, or else the battery won’t perform as well.
I believe a ratio of approximately 3 parts water 1 part dish soap is the best mixture to get a properly clean battery

Have a phobia of metric measurement units. If you use any metric parts at all, it’s not going to work.

Rely on key parts that were widely available before, but now are out of stock everywhere and no longer being produced. Don’t order those until 3 days before you need them.

Preorders/crowdfunding/group buys/indiegogos are the best way to get stuff.
