    the only difference between this and the internal one is that its more sucepptible to piercing damage, but the contraption itself isnt any more inherently dangerous conpared to the battery in the tablet itself.

    if youre worried about house fires at all one shouldnt even use lithium ion batteries period.

      Well except for the exposed contacts from the holder. These types of holders are designed to be on the inside of things and not exposed. Bridging one side to the other would be a fire and explosion risk. OP needs to put a cover over it to be safe, or at least some kapton tape over the exposed contacts.

        You are correct - I forgot to link to the tutorial page on my website where I’m pretty sure I explained that I’m fully aware of the risk and nobody should do this
