Making Zinc-Carbon Battery Cells from Scratch Part 1.5: New Electrolytes & Materials

Hey everyone!
In this video I'll be making some more battery cells using the exact same materials used in commercial batteries! I'll also be trying out some better electrolytes using higher purity materials than in my last video on the 3D Printed Cells.
I'm making this video so that we know what the best electrolyte & cathode compositions are, so that the 3D printed cells can be built to deliver the best performance possible.

Cool, I'm glad to see we finally got a ~~ 2~~ video

[@TheLastWolfBane]

I'm used to discord

[@KeonsLab]

Oh, what does ~~ do on discord? Also I’m glad you liked the video! :)

[@TheLastWolfBane]

@@KeonsLab scratches it out

[@KeonsLab]

Interesting, I didn’t know that.

[@TheLastWolfBane]

Me neither, just found out for this

[@edel_stridsvagn]

bro, I have neve seen a professional diy cell. The cell you did and you research is very nice and good. congrats for upcoming research 🫡.

[@KeonsLab]

Thanks 😊 I’m glad you think so!

Cool video i really liked this, i appreciate the measured values. But i really wanted to see it try and power something like a low power led or small motor. Still a great video, subbed and turnd on notifications for your channel.

[@KeonsLab]

Aw, thanks!!! 😊 I’ll be powering different things with some bigger cells in the next part now that I know which electrolyte worked best. I just need to figure out how I’ll connect them together in a way that looks nice.
