DIY Power Station Attempt

DIY Power Station Attempt

I wanted a power source which I can use when power goes out or when I go to camping. This was in the back of my head for a long time until a friend said he found a bunch of discarded laptop batteries at the IT department of the company he works at, and he grabbed all of them for me because he knows I like upcycling.

After taking all of the batteries apart, I saw that each had 2 pouch cells.
