       it’s raining a stupid amount at bornhack, so let’s pop() a project off the list:three badge batteries, and one broken thinkpad 560Z battery pack (that cannot be rebuilt with 18650 cells because they’re too large) - will it blend?

       @evv42 i mean worst case it won’t workthe balancing circuit has a thermofuse and two temp sensors so it’ll be safe at least

       @domi was your battery KO or is this better? this feels like a lot less capacity so i'm curious! —helene

       @toast it’s actually a similar amount of capacity, batteries went a long way since 1998and yeah it had self discharge so high it’d go flat within a week, and i’m tired of resuscitating it with a bench power supply

       @drwho no clue! li-ions have different characteristics, but as long as you use one and the same type throughout a whole battery you should be fine. worst case your device won’t work because of the power draw (I got lucky here ^^)generally match the chemistry and see what fits in your enclosure

       @domi noob question: if this thing can run icewm, why is my 2005 laptop with a processor 3x that speed lowkey struggling with Antix (which uses icewm by default)? :blobcat_flopdaze:

       @domi *shrug* there's some nvidia chip in there and i couldn't find drivers that wanted to install. as for anything else, the first word of my previous post answers that :blobcat:
