This is a PSA. You should never wear a ring while working with batteries. Especially LiPo / LiFe / Li-Ion batteries. If two terminals touch the ring you will burn your finger. Even 18650 batteries can toast your fingers. The severity of the damage can range from a hot ring to the ring getting burned stuck to your bone.
All that makes sense right? But is it really that bad? Lets connect a battery to a ring and stick it on a sausage.

I'm pretty sure, looking at this thumbnail... that you might actually be doctor Robotnik
2:23 the best moment ever trying to blow it out with the face mask on hahaha
I was going to comment the exact same thing!!! 2:24 That moment you realize you're being recorded making a NOOB mistake...PRICELESS!!! hahahahaha
word
The amount of times I do this welding
These looks like another good reason for silicone wedding bands.
Hahah this was a lot of fun... I’m gonna use a battery as a welder now... 😁
I've used car batteries to weld stuff before
"So we made a ring and put it on a sausage" because obviously 😂
Giaco you should see what happens if you put a series of 5 car batteries and try this same experiment
what were your setup?
@jabraham
Yep. Ive been careful ever since.
I also approve the PPE. Nice job! 👍
I saw this happen to a guy at the race track, he had a wrench in his hand and shorted across a car battery and his ring was in contact with the wrench. His finger looked a bit like the hot dog except there was bone showing Lots of smoke and lots of screaming. Everyone else in the pits took their rings off, myself included.
Missed you, keep them coming.
I am so happy I found you again!!!! Keep up the great content
Im glad you mentioned about cutting plugs off lipo batteries!, my mate needed a different plug on a battery( ordered the wrong battery and could'nt wait!) I asked him if he wanted me to do it as ive done some 'safely' before, or i could run him through how i do it, he stated he didnt need help, its simple.....its just a battery for a r/c toy!!, he burnt his hand, screwed up a pair of side cutters and nearly burnt his workshop down!!, those 14v batteries are legal thermo grenades when handled by fools!!lol!. Great vid David, more should know how dangerous these betteries are if not handled or worked on carefully. All the best matey!
As I’m sitting here with burn cream on my finger. Watching this video is a little different for me than for others, as this just happened to me minutes ago.
Good tip for all you birds out there.
i never thought that a battery of that size could do much harm but now i know thanks for sharing that with us..
The picture of this video is slightly terrifying
how to cook a hot dog 101
Your big sausage is our little hotdog. Lol
That’s not a sausage, it’s a hotdog!
I also shorted a lipo cutting both wires at same time.. really really felt stupid that time
AvE brought me here.
I hope he returns to get me as I'm now lost.
Happy birthday David!❤️
Oh hell yes, these guys in the shop together will be epic.
Love the beard David, getting in touch with your inner Viking eh?
So very true... Good video
Emergency stick welding with old lipo's awesome idea.
David you look like a real viking with that beard!
ROFL dude tries to blow out fire with a face shield on. Awesome.
David....come back!
Ha I have actually done this to my wedding ring connecting some truck batteries, luckily for me the side of the ring shattered out and I was able to flick it off after a second. Still scared my finger though and the ring was destroyed. Its as you say - you only need to do it once and you'll never forget again
Looking more and more like a mad scientist every day!
great video
My very first connector change, I did that too!
I work in the electronics industry and for this reason i do not wear rings at all after a short on the back of a crt monitor one day about 15 years ago. No damage to me but lesson learned.
This is why I take my wedding band off before playing with open connections to electrical.
At least now I have an excuse not to get married
David frying sausage for the good of the world.
Kind of late with his one.......My finger know this all to well
I got some MIG splatter on my wedding ring - hooooollly fuck 😭
If you want it you should have put a ring on it
a friend of mine did that with a stainless wristwatch and a 12volt 85amp car battery
when he was changing startmotor on a volvo.
The metal in a wristwatch bracelet is so thin it went hot instant :(
Great video! This world needs more ring/finger awareness for safety
This happened to my dad
Please do some videos on anodising!!!
That thumbnail 😎😎😎
perpendurcular 720 very mad 😁
Some 50 years ago, my father accidently melted his wedding ring when tightening the wire onto a car battery; he caught it between the wrench and the other pole and the ring instantly turned white hot and melted. This was fortunate, as otherwise he would have lost his finger... The ring was lost.
Can u make a vedio on building a bicopter (the one which comes in "avatar").
I just use cable adapters.
A great demonstration of the dangers of working with high voltage and/or current devices. I’ve witnessed two examples of this. One was a chap working on a high powered RF amplifier. His ring shorted across the base of a very large capacitor and more or less melted into his finger. The second was someone working on his car and his wristwatch made contact with the +Ve of the battery and the chassis. He now has a permanent brand of the wristwatch’s bracelet on his wrist.
sputniksam I learned in my 20's really quickly why you dont wear rings or watches working on cars. It woke me up, thats for sure! Always respect those lithium batterys, they can bite!
Low voltage is more dangerous than we give credit.
FlyQuad FPV Explain low voltage. A lithium battery packs as much punch as any car battery, messing with alternator voltage is talking 10,000 volts on a spark plug ,a lithium battery won't kill you as fast as a car ignition system would. Messing with electricity requires common sense and safety reguardless.
RC Hobbyist Extreme everyone knows high voltage is dangerous. If not... Natural selection got ya or will. Not many realize the dangers of low voltage being discharged at high amps. It's the voltage that kills. 12v is considered low voltage. Your typical lipo in the 3s range is very close to a car battery in voltage, I have in fact started cars using both a 3s and 4s lipo. A dead short could cause the battery to explode, I have not seen that but I've heard stories.
Rocket hotdog! ..with a ring! ...and poor safety standards!
I had to stop wearing my wedding ring for that reason. Working on a car ignition I accidentally hit my ring on a starter solenoid and fire works. I wonder how many guys have done what you did as far as cutting both wires on a battery changing ends. Good video! There is a video out of a guy whom left his charging cables hooked to a 6 cell battery with exposed banana clips. When he picked up the battery with the wires wrapped around the battery, the plugs touched in his palm. He ended up with a burn in his palm! Its posted for anyone to see. Batterys require a LOT of respect. Being careless by over charging can also result from bad things happening also. Its best to always, always test a battery with a known good meter. Never trust a wall wart charger to do a proper job at charging a battery. I personally wish they wouldnt even include them with RC equipment. If the company is willing to provide you with everything, at least provide a decent charging system.
How do I get here?!
Ha! Now I know your looks on the the thumbnail remains me of: Dr. Hugo Strange (DC unisverse)
XD
I soldered 16 li ion batteries (2 packs of 8 in parallel and both packs connected in series) and i used them to burn thing at school with the mechanical pencil lead. I also attached them to directly to a normal pencil and it caught a bit on fire. (a friend of mine was sent to the headteacher because he was shorting the battery, the funny thing about it is that in the note they wrote that he was shorting the batteries expelling dangerous gasses and risking an explosion)
RingToster
can confirm you learn the first time not to snip both wires at once....
Yes your back
Wish I watched this video before I burned myself
cooking lessons with david
I have a friend that did that while working on his car. Grossest thing I've seen. Wedding ring too.
Im hungry
YES
ah man thanks! I loved when you tried to blow on the wire with the shield down :D
Hope you had a good birthday!
Smashed the balance leads on a drone today and in the rush to remove it the leads touched right over my finger nail and about instantly burned a tiny 1mm hole clean through my nail. And that was probably only one of the cells. I was actually thinking about posting a vid on the very same topic.
In the thumbnail, why does David remind me of Boris the Animal from Men in Black?
Why not just desolder the connector wires off one by one? That’s the way I swap my connectors off when I’m putting a XT60 or whatever connector I want on. That way you never have the issue of shorting a battery lead together.
1:52 hahaha no kidding, I've done it also and let's just I'll never make that mistake again
Daaaaaaaaam!
So if you break the balance connector is it dangerous to touch the wires with a soldering iron to repair?
That magnificent beard!
I just did this to my finger omg the worst pain ever. Omg have gone through 2 surgeries. Now. Stupid thing to do. 😪🥺🙈🙉🙊
Saftey at its finest
this exact thing happened to a guy in my club. i think it was a 6s lipo only
Ouch that would be terrible. Wonder what would happen if I did a 12S 🤔
OMG that thumbnail 😂🤣😂🤣
Good test -- a safety issue I'd never considered. One complaint - You held it for so long... I wanted to see what would happen if it touched for just an instant before your hand pulls away.
Did this yesterday pissing with my amp wiring, touch the positive term with my wedding band. Gave me a nice little burn and blister.
5TH wow I'm early! how many vids will you do with giaco?
Hopefully a bunch more
"Hey wifey, what's with the sour face? Oh you're wondering why I often come home and have my ring in my pocket? That's because.. uh.. I was again late in my workshop handling batteries. It's only reason I took my ring off! I promise!"
Will she buy it or is it gonna end up in a divorce? ;)
Good thing we have this sausage video to prove it...
Wow David i bet the guys at flitetest would hardly recognize you,
do as i say not as i do lol
Dude, I remember how I tried to measure the distance between battery contacts with a metal calipers... You can probably guess what happened. :)
happy b dayvid
Jag permunererade🤙🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😂
Eat it! OK DON'T EAT IT :-)
Well, if you're going to wear a ring while playing with any electronics you should at least put a wrap of electrical tape around the ring.
This is why being single is safest :D
Who as done 1:38? I have once.
David - did you have the side cutters handy to break the circuit, in case you couldn't remove one of the wires? Should have had the LIPO in a safety bag, in case it blew up. Enough current to cause the wire insulation to catch fire, might have made the battery blow up. My buddy was charging a LIPO in his workshop, when it blew up & started a fire. Burned the carpet on the floor, & put little pin holes in all of the wings on his wing rack, from the hot bits of battery that flew through the air. Good thing he had a smoke alarm nearby, as he was upstairs when it began sounding the alarm. He learned the hard way...
In what situation are u going to have a positive and negative at either end of ur ring for 20 seconds
Happened to me 5 days ago. I wish I would have seen the vid before or not been born that stupid.
Är du hemma i Sverige nu?
Another good reason to not get married.
You going bald haha
The hair is migrating down the face
SECOND
Dude licking a pole production sounds like a company in San Francisco. ..a gay company....with gay products....
