Upon request TODAY I show you the exact process to build a DIY FPV Lithium Ion battery.
If you're impatient you can skip ahead right to the build process but if you watch the intro part theres some good value to learn. Upfront there is an investment into battery building if you want to do it as "right" as possible, BUT if you do the bare minimum and use duct tape or similar instead of all the items linked below it will be cost about $30 per battery vs the $65+ i see online.
In the video, FN gopro lost footage when I solder the balance wires on AND coat the metal areas with conformal coating (added layer of water resistance) before I started sealing with the kapton tape (keep this note in mind)
With that said, the initial investment could be paid back after making 3-4 batteries most likely ESPECIALLY if you build a 2p super battery which i saw online for $120+ (food for thought)
