The battery builders club

Cool man, just remember to insulate all possible short points well. Chafe is real.

One more thing. Irregularly shapes P groups kinda freak me out. No logical reason, maybe it’s like insisting the stickers on the batteries all face the same way, but still…

Carry on!

@Skyart they are all absolutely perfect. Now that I finished checking them and writing down all the voltages, I feel like I just kinda wasted my time :man_facepalming::joy:

Better safe than sorry my dude, when we get batteries from reputable sellers they are always the same voltage, and we toss the ones that are not because there must be something wrong with them

Either TS-80, or a Weller 40w kit, I have that old red boy and it hits way harder than it deserves to

I’ve had this one for years and it still puts out more punch than my TS-80 from time to time

I love my Baku rework station. Gets hot real freaking quick and good retention of said heat. Plus the pen fits any Hakko tips so you can get even better results.

Edit: fuck man, you guys can get it for 60bucks…I paid 100 :man_facepalming:

I like the fact it has both in one unit. Also the hot air gun stops heating when you place it back on its stand (possibly thx to a magnet) so I don’t have to worry about things behind it
