accidentally do this?
I'm not planning on it mind you, but I am working on a bike light, and am considering using Turbo Ferrets four cell 18650 holder wired in series as the power source. Just wondering what would happen if I accidentally inserted one of the cells incorrectly.
I'm going to be careful when recharging the cells and replacing them, but I am just weighing the risks and benefits of various options (ie a pre-fab pack with smart charger vs. 18650s in holder)
Edit: I am leaning towards the holder because it gives me future options: changing voltage, cell upgrades, replacing a bad cell, temporary bench power supply et al. As it is, I think i only need +/- 11.1 V, but if I'm wrong, it's no big deal to rewire the holder, and slip the extra cell in. Can't really do that with a pre-fab pack.
