Any idea what it caught fire? I'm thinking that something got shorted out, but maybe you punctured one of the cells...

Well in fact the battery was designed very well, the wires linking all the cells were like fuse wires and the fire was one of those burning through. So everythings alright!!!

oh i added it back in.. i'd be crazy not to

Was it a lithium based battery?

If so, you most likely ripped open one of the cells. Lithium reacts violently with oxygen. My neighbor disposes of old dead RC airplane batteries that way. (I don't ask why.)

Didn't Gamelver say that it was more a fire then an explosion though?

damm i think i melted a capaciter on the protection circuit, wasn't there a make your own protection circuit going around somewhere.

What's wrong with it? Picture of the capacitor?

i made a protection circuit. it seems to work but i havent tested it extensively. you could probably buy one of batteryspace.com for cheaper than putting in a digikey order to get the parts. its all smd...

Vanhal · Post by **Vanhal** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:21 am

right the circuit is now exploded while trying to fix it the ics started smoking! so bye bye protection circuit. Oh well my screen is working nicely with its led mod!!!

running off a 9v battery for testing.
Picture looks a bit grainy, might be because i'm using blue-tak to attach the video lines to the component cable
