Looks like he shipped USPS even though the description said FedEx. I don't blame him, not sure if he would have even made money using Fedex

Demi god I can’t stop loling at your avatar

I even had to buy a few of these for myself! These are a great buy to give to friends and family with lights. I bought some Acer packs a while back with these in them and the cells are an excellent value.

65

What’s the first step in unpacking this pack, and what are the minimum tools you need?

66

The first step is to drink a beer and make sure all minors are out of earshot. This was one of the more frustrating packs I have operated on.

My toolset was pliers, tin snips, pocket knife, and a lot of patience. You can probably get by with just pliers and a screwdriver. This the easiest entry point on this one was the connector base, cracked it with the pliers and went from there. Some of it peeled off like an orange, some was snipped off using the tin snips between the 2 rows of cells. It just takes persistence an attitude that saving money by doing this is actually fun!

Be very careful not to short anything. As soon as I can I snip the wires off the PCB so I don’t accidentally make any short circuits. Also with pliers there is a tendency to lever them against a battery while peeling off the casing and solder tabs. Try not to do this because you can tear the shrink wrapped lining.

Seriously though, leave the beer for afterwards. I’ve bloodied my hands many times in the excitement of pulling laptop cells. Be careful and be safe & you’ll be happy you picked these up. BTW, there are lots of thread on BLF on how to do this, check their good advice!
