I know the 18650s have a massive capacity compared to the 16340s but I wanted to be able to charge them both with the same (cheap) charger.
I just got a lathe 2 days ago so this was a nice bit of practice ^_^
Pretty simple to make, its a little thin around the battery but actually quite tough.
Simple to get them the same length but good to get some practice working "down hole" :crackup:
I just charged 2 of these little batteries in an hour, they worked fine in the charger and both came out to exactly 4.2V
The 18650s like to "pop out" but the adapter didn't have any of that trouble.
I just got an idea on how to polish aluminum in one easy step so I'll likely try it out on these lol.
Just learned how to embed images so there will be a 1.495mA 445 build guide coming soon (it's under the phone in the 1st pic)
