In this episode we’re building a budget Solar Battery for our Off Grid Office, which doubles as a a VW Bus . We’re looking to build our own solar panels and a DIY Lithium Battery using recycled 18650 cells. We’re also explaining how it caught fire!
At this point in our cross planet journey we needed to generate more electricity so that we could work off grid in our tiny home in the USA. Our 12v Deep Cycle battery system was not adequate, perhaps we can use EV technology, and recycle old laptop batteries into a Tesla PowerWall style battery bank.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME?!
As you will see in this video, our DIY Battery actually caught fire and caused our home to burn down. Obviously we don’t recommend that you use this video as a How To. This video is meant only for entertainment purposes. We’re not saying that 18650 cells cannot be used in this configuration safely. We’re just saying that you should do so with caution and always consult a professional.
