Apparently you don’t need to be very smart to make a “how to” video.
Isn’t the body of the battery a negative terminal as in he could really easily short it without the shrinkwrap.
How did it get 4.83V?
+1, I second that 
if you notice at about 1:05, the light flickers as he is pushing the battery in… im guessing either his DMM is bad, or the charging circuit is bad on the laptops PSU
hope he knows enough to get a wrapper on that battery before we hear another VWF on the news
The reason the light flickers on when he installs the battery is because the outside of the battery (-) is contacting the body of the light and completing the circuit.
yeah, i guess i should have quoted skyrider1 so people knew what i was referencing
They still have AOL?
A little sarcasm here…… at least he had the word “hack” in his title. That speaks volumes
