You'll get no argument from me.
When mine stops holding a charge, I plan on opening it up, finding new, equivalent cells, and building a new case for it around battery holders for the cells. I'm 98% certain I have cylindrical cells in mine.... So some 18650 or 21700 cell holders, cells, and just wire it in to the same controller board and slap everything in a case with some padding to keep it from moving around.
That way I can keep using it until the controller board dies, and even then, I can later replace the controller board....
It's my long-term plan to build and maintain my own power bank.
It will be encased in metal.
That was my plan before opening it caused a fire.
Fair enough. Hopefully I have better luck.
Take care of yourself and be safe out there.
