Man opens "£500" battery, finds £22 worth of batteries inside


"Here i take apart a £500 rechargeable battery for the Nagra IV digital recorder to find Lithium polymers inside worth about £22.50

I think Its an expensive waste to purchase the box and circuit everytime a battery fails especially as the cell pack simply unplugs. and according to the Nagra website Lithium-Ion battery packs will last for between 500 and 1'000 charge cycles. Don't get me wrong Nagra makes quite incredible top quality gear but I was somehow expecting some very clever Tech in the battery box considering it's price."
