Thank you that was the idea, In the missing tutorial I explain that I used batteries from a power bank with a broken usb. So yeah re-using stuff, this tablet should last 10 more years at least! https://www.circusscientist.com/upgrade-your-tablet-with-replaceable-batteries/
Really? It never happened to me even after shorting one once.. There are some super cheap ones at the local Chinese store I was thinking of trying out, the brand ones are pretty reasonable already though, so that's what I use. Maybe will give the cheapies a miss at least for indoor projects
You are correct - I forgot to link to the tutorial page on my website where I'm pretty sure I explained that I'm fully aware of the risk and nobody should do this
If you get more likes on your comment I am willing to test this
Context I live in a country with an unreliable postal service and shit currency. Also batteries were free from an old power bank
Free batteries from an old power bank...
Geez did I not link to the tutorial here? That's what happens when you're in a hurry. https://www.circusscientist.com/upgrade-your-tablet-with-replaceable-batteries/
Also, no I don't take it out of the house - and the batteries are from an old power bank so essentially free.
This is the best hack I have ever done!

This whole discussion makes me hungry tbh. I guess the real answer is to always have loads of food in the cupboard (just in case). Lucky - due to watching too many zombie apocalypse movies, combined with living in a not entirely stable country - I do.
It's not true right? I refuse to believe that all of the effort I put in to become starvation proof is based on a lie..
Actually capacity exceeds the original spec. Battery indicator seems accurate though.
