One day we were climbing poles, and a guys drill died, and he asked to borrow mine and it almost snapped his wrist, he wasn't ready for it. Shortly after, DeWalt also came out with lithium ion drills, but I'll never forget that day.

Next time we get an "import" battery manufacturer emailing us, I'll try to get some specs and pricing on how this all works for ordering the counterfeits. They'll build them for you with lots of options on cells including Samsung cells but they offer New or Reconditioned. Prices are obviously waaay cheaper for recon so they are building with the right cells but very likely used/reconditioned cells they took out of a "Bad" battery identified what cells still have a little juice then put them with other working recon cells (could be 2-4 years old with heavy use). You can also choose your packaging, really emphasizing they can say whatever you want. Shocking how cheap these can be if you want to order 1000+ look the part but will never last more than a few months before loosing performance, probably profitable if you don't mind being a shady counterfeiter. Really appreciate you highlighting how sketchy these batteries can be! People just try to save a few bucks but then realize you are getting ripped off!

I think the issue was more about the connections even with the added nickel strips. Without good spot welding on the cells themselves, resistance can be huge. Nickel is a lot more resistive than even aluminum so needs a very nice spot weld. Adding tabs on top helps for sure, but the bottleneck is still on the cell connection.

I Love it! Really appreciate you guys testing home made cells (and making your own) along with systematically testing as well as making that data so publicly available. Since a lot of viewers rely on cordless tools now for their profession It would be great if you added a column for how long it took you to assemble the battery. I think taking this into account as a type of opportunity cost is something that is relevant when comparing prices. If you can build your own battery but it takes 2-3hours of your day then paying a premium for NameBrand might actually be worth doing. I would have said buying a counterfeit vs making your own but I similarly believe 60-80% the performance doesn’t justify 60-80% price. It’s a logarithmic scale that steeply drops off below the 90% where value plummets such that 80% performance would justify 60% cost and a 60% performance normally wouldn’t even be worth purchasing except for the occasional Light Duty applications done by inexperienced homeowners which barely even justifies the material cost & transport to produce and bring to market.

TTC (and anyone wanting to play with LiPo swapped packs) LiHV cells offer all the C ratings of 'normal' LiPo cells but with a nominal voltage of 3.85v (4.35v max). DJI and others use these to eek out further capacity and performance without adding another cell. They would take a nominal pack voltage from 18 (5x3.6v) to 19.25. Combine that with 50C+ discharge...

The power of the battery made out of RC LiPo packs doesn't surprise me in the least. When you delve down the rabbit hole and dig further into the world of battery powered RC cars seeing the power these batteries put out is crazy. The average user who don't maintain their batteries will get themselves in trouble with LiPo's very quickly. They need to be discharged if they're ever to be stored for long periods of time. :)

As an old school RCer, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little salty that LiPos have basically killed nitro RCs lol. But holy actual hell is the performance potential just undeniable. Absolutely insane what they can do today. Also, being a gearhead/hardcore car guy/racer/etc., having this interest in what's going on in the RC space(and, for that matter, power tools too), I've had a VEEEEEEERY different perspective on EV cars compared to the average dude with a turbo LS whatever lol. Guys can talk shit about EVs all they want - a Tesla Plaid still runs 9.20s straight off the showroom floor. I'm probably not going to be in the EV market any time soon, but I'm also fully aware of just how capable they can be. Not a one-size-fits-all solution for all use cases, but they aren't going away(even governments do finally realize that you can't "encourage" people to buy a certain type of car they don't want by having automakers just make more of them).

Forge has higher voltage in this test not just because of IR but because of the chemistry, lipos have different discharge curve with higher average voltage.

@riba2233 if you want to see it yourself, it's on [RAW 005] at 55:50. Grinder cuts out at 158A, then 140A, and then 124A with no stop signal from the battery. So definitely some sort of temp sensor.

i know for a fact the Milwaukee die grinder has a woefully low safety limit. any torque and it shuts straight off

I used to ditch the nicd on power tools back in the day n put lipos. Nowadays are rc cars are at 40 volts. 60 volts when I want stuff to catch fire.

Can you test the DCD130? I'm curious how a mud mixer/drill stacks up against a normal drill

21700 is nice. I use a white laser flashlight for security ☄️ but that battery (Fenix) came from a sealed and verified company. And it's only 1 cell so it's extra safe.

I was laughing so hard, I had to sit down during the final drill test. Hahahahahaha Edit: the outro recommendations are funny too.

Have you tried running these tools on ~24v? Just adding another set of cells in series sorta thing. Would be interesting to see what happens overvolting the situation a bit :)

What messed up the drill, by the look of it, was the anti-backdrive mechanism that's needed to be able to use the keyless chuck with one hand. Can happen if you have a heavy load and let off the trigger too quickly. You can tell that's what happened because for the motor to do that to the chuck by itself you'd have had to have gone in reverse, not forward.

Very interesting video! Care to sell your dead impact (the one at 12:45)? I'd be interested in it...

Once going with a RC lipo hell break loose optios are available, I am curious about using a High voltage lipo that charged to 4.35v per cells, now that might kill your tools but voltage sags be damn.
