    I was at first, this is BS and now I’m like this is a lot of work but doable…

    Now to get the kids to dispose of them in an easy way to collect them…

        Building on that idea (thank you!)

        There are a couple vape shops near buy. I wonder if they would let me put them up there? More foot traffic of the right people I’m looking for.

          Give them $5 to put the box just outside the store, and tell them there’s another $5 for them if they call when it’s full.

          Putting it inside could be a bit of a fire hazard, so I bet they’d be more receptive to it being outside

            That was my thought (outside deposit), as a shade tree welder I was thinking of building the box in a way that would contain a thermal runaway or a bad actor setting it alight

            I didnt think about incentivizing the placement/collection process. I will definitely use that model, thanks!

              If it’s gonna be heavy AF anyway, might as well add some sand to the bottom. To protect the concrete in case of a runaway.

              Good luck!

                Yeah they are going to be heavy, it will help with them no being stolen/kicked over.

                I like the sand idea, great for fire and would had more ballast to make them hard to move/vandalize. Plus keep it in bags to make it easier to move later on. Thanks!

      He has it running for over a month according to the video, it actually looks very well set up. He even accidentally “killed” one of the rows, and was able to short circuit it for testing his safety fuses.

      It very much looked like he was doing everything possible to do it the safe way, but that doesn’t stop any of the batteries themselves from exploding, albeit rather unlikely.

      To be fair to him he certainly seems to have tried to be careful. I have no idea if he’s actually a qualified sparky.
