The battery went from freshly charged to freshly charred 😄If an elfbar battery in your pocket shorted out it could brand your leg 😮 This is a really useful demonstration video of what could happen with a worst case scenario battery short. Blessings to you and yours, Grandad 👍
@@DirtyPlumbus I was wondering if the hot glue or the PLA case would have increased the risk, but it looked like the molten hot glue helped kill the flames.
@@danisgay100 what seems to happen is that the battery contacts burn/melt and act as a fuse. I don't know if it is designed that way or just a lucky result. I have another go in PART 2.
@cspower7259 The first thing is whether the cell is fully charged. That is where the power comes from. You can hammer nails into a fully discharged cell, and nothing will happen. I fully charged this for the demo, but the wire tags melted before it could do any more damage. What I wanted to find out was if the PLA printed case or the hot glue would add to the flammability and it does not look like it did. If anything, when the hot glue melted, it might have helped kill the flames.
Very distinctive smell with lithium, sickly sweet 🤐 It is sort of amazing that all you'd need to do is remove that lipo and put another in to return the build to working condition. Mind you, it might smell forever.
When I smell something like that it seems to hang around me for hours if not days. It's like my smell sensors get stuck on it and don't move on until something else "memorable" turns up.
@theGraphicAutist not the ones I am using, although the thin battery contacts effectively work as fuses if they burn through. I have no idea if that is a design feature or just a lucky result of cost cutting.

That was fun
A little disappointing. Although the main purpose was to find if the PLA or Hot Glue added to the fire hazard 👍

It needs a good set of coincidences to do the deed. It is clearly possible that the worst can happen, but not guaranteed that it will.
"Smells Good"... Grandad isn't gonna get much older if he's huffing those! 😀
😂
I can almost certainly guarantee if you had done it inside the house fire 🔥 Murphy law great experiment 😊 👍
Yes, not an indoor experiment 🤣🤣
This will be a fun video.
@@DirtyPlumbus I really tried to get fire 🔥 but failed. I tried even harder in part 2 and still failed 🤷♂️
@GrandadIsAnOldMan While that may be less entertaining, it's probably the preferred outcome.

It was interesting that at first it smoked the slowed then a lot more smoke i am interested in weather or not it temporarily lost its connection

I usually get a nasty spark and then there done. Only 5A output, i dont think its top grade lithium either. Does it make a difference the grade?

What will happen if I do this to a 5000 milliamp battery…
What do you think will happen?

Wow
Good afternoon, Davide 👍👍
Don't they have a fuse type mechanism?
