The Great Search: 3xAA NIMH Battery packs #TheGreatSearch #DigiKey #Adafruit @DigiKey @Adafruit
This week we’re working on reviving a 65 million year old toy: the PLEO from UGOBEE. It has a 6xAA NiMH battery pack that you can recharge between playtimes.
However, this battery has worn out from being almost 20 years old – time to get fresh AA’s and re-pack it. It uses tab-soldered AA batteries, and we don’t have a spot welder, so we should get tabbed batteries (that’s going to be more expensive than plain AA’s) and then we can carefully solder the tabs together.
Lets go on DigiKey to find tabbed battery packs!
See the video below and the chosen parts on DigiKey here.
