500 disposable vapes recycled into a powerwall to power a house and workshop — enough juice for up to eight hours of home usage or three days of work

YouTuber Chris Doel repurposed 500 disposable vape batteries to create a powerwall that can power his house and workshop for up to eight hours at home or three days at work. The project addresses the e-waste crisis caused by disposable vapes in the UK, with millions of vapes discarded weekly. Doel salvaged batteries from returned vapes, tested their capacity, and connected them to create a powerful battery bank. The setup includes custom 3D-printed modules, aluminum rails, and a battery management system for safety. The powerwall is connected to an inverter, enabling it to power Doel's workshop and home appliances, showcasing the potential of repurposing e-waste for sustainable energy solutions.
