I twitched when I saw that, too.

I even sent a screenshot of the video to a co-worker - when the "Vegabond Bag $19.99" heading was up, and the actual bag that read "Vagabond" was right underneath!

Gah!

That's great information, though, I've seen screenshots, but it's nice to see video. I also don't know why I never thought of using the Vagabond bag to make other batteries...

hahaha man no more videos for me at 3am :P and maybe ill use a loose script next time so not as many umms  :o

Hey, kudos for having it sound like it did - the umms didn't really bother me!

I'm impressed now that I hear it was made at 3am!

And thanks for the information - I've been reading the other DIY battery pack threads, but have 0 experience soldering, so have still been thinking of picking up a Vagabond - it's good to see things visually going together.

You can do it with crimp connectors rather than soldering. :D
