No! Invest in a good lab bench or even a bad lab bench power supply. Unless you know what your doing with Lithium batteries don't do *ANYTHING* with Lithium batteries! Don't underestimate the danger of Lithium Batteries. As soon as something safer of equivlent energy density is readily available they will be outlawed. There are already increasing restructions on how they can be transported. http://www.google.com/search?num=100&site=unclesam&restrict=unclesam&hl=en&output=unclesam&q=Lithium+Battery+Transport+of+Dangerous+Goods&btnG=Search Some industries such as Coal Mining have extremely restrictive regulations on the use of Lithium batteries. Others are catching up to that level. http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/msha_rules.html See section 4.9 on page 19 of the FAQ. As was already mentioned don't put out a Lithium fire with water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium > And worst of all, I'm not an electrical engineer...I'm just an assembly > language programmer struggling to understand circuits...but I sure like > playing with them! http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits From the XCircuit web page: "Tony Kuphaldt's Lessons In Electric Circuits, a sweeping electronics textbook available for free download from ibiblio.org.
