I had high hopes for this, since it looked very futuristic and functional. In reality it has a few design flaws that include the potential mistreatment of three high capacity lithium cells in parallel in a tough metal enclosure.
The LEDs seemed to be fitted with what initially appeared to be a rather neat bit of heatsinking which might not be quite as good as it seemed.
On a plus note, the case is the perfect base for a sci-fi prop with lots of nicely machined parts.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

If the battery does not fit, get out the Bacofoil, lol.
Odd that they didn't use a standard USB port.
You could modify that to accommodate a power bank and use it as an emergency option if it weren't a piece of shit had a notification from YouTube thinking I'm being disrespectful to you Clive🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For god's sake Clive get some cheap 1 or 2mm drill bits for opening stuff like that rather than using scissors.
When I was about 12, I made a flashlight with a battery, a tiny light bulb, a bent paperclip, and some tape. I gather things have changed since then.
you just can put the magnets from GIZEH long roling papers packaging to the + pole of the short batteries and they will fit perfect.

Can you recommend a good UK or EU supplier of lithium 18650 cells to replace power tools batteries? I have 3 x 4.0Ah and a 5.0Ah dead Makita batteries and 2 DeWalt's. I take it they need to be high drain cells and can't be any regular 18650 cells.
