I like his battery haha, colorful. Also nuts to test all those cells. Make sure they're all roughly the same performance. wonder how hard it would be to find a bad cell.
Probably the most obvious indication would be temperature. Assuming they are in parallel, it'd be quite wise to measure their discharge curves to only select similar cells - that would also highlight any bad ones.
Hmm. It did appear that the cells were all oriented in the same direction.
What a great idea I think although I wonder if it's a pain, cutting through that hard, protective plastic that these cells are in for laptop batteries. Unless you buy just the cells themselves.
