i disagree with the single transistor. overcharge prevention requires something more (i am not a batteriologist don't ask me what. i'd do it with a tesla coil because that'd look cooler)

    I was assuming it was disposable (as so many are) and therefore no charging circuit.

    Huh. The disposables I am occasionally "forced" to get (put it in a 510 thread gramma) have charging ports. I usually have to charge once or twice to get through the full gram.

    That being said, the good local dispo just rebranded and gave me a bunch of 510 batteries with the old name on them. These batteries are fantastic and look about the same size as the server in the article
