  • For anyone thinking this is fake, it actually works. There is a fuse-like function just under the + cap, and they kinda swell up in case of overheating to prevent explosion. What he did was, put them back together by hammering the swollen plate down. But guys, unless you are completely broke, just buy a new battery for your own safety....
