we need
- 4* 18650 batteries, you can buy or extract them from any old laptop battery ( i used a liitokala tester to test their capacity)
- a power bank module, you can buy them from a local supplier or Ali express ( AliExpress link )
- STL file of the power bank ( thingiverse link )
- 3d printer to print the STL files or print it in any 3d printing house
- Soldering iron
- battery spot welder (recommended)
Now you can print the STL files on a 3d printer and go to the next step

you have to
- solder the 4 batteries in parallel and solder a wire from their positive to the positive of the power bank module and the same for the negative
- insert the module in the module printed part
- insert the batteries in their printed part
- install the printed button
- push the printed part with power bank module in its place (you may use super glue to hold it in place)
Congrats
