Presumably, batteries with the electrical tape tabs on them would be safe to put in the charger...? Wouldn't want them to blow up in my face. Roll Eyes

Alternatively, Jabari's brother's idea might be a good one to try.  Tongue

It works amazingly well, as long as you don't pull on just one end and slide the tape strip out by itself.  You have to pull both ends at once.  And since it's not actually attached to the batteries, it won't get in the way of recharging or anything.

The tape tabs are totally safe in your charger.  There is no tape on the electrical contacts, just on the body of the battery.

On that note I HAVE had a charger "blow up in my face", but there were no batteries in it.  I had left it plugged in while not using it and the cord shorted when I picked it up (the power cord felt warm and somewhat floppy when I picked it up, I had just enough time to notice that before things got really exciting).  I highly recommend unplugging your chargers when not in use.

Yikes! Haha, good to know, though I already do unplug it after use, and wrap it all up nice and neatly inside the plastic button-up sleeve it came in.  Cheesy

Knife + battery removal = bad times, dude.  Seriously.

You can damage your battery cells as well as yourself with a knife.

And Ultrasabers doesn't make the packs - they purchase the parts.  I agree, it would be great to see a stronger, more resilient yet easier to interface with battery pack - especially something that could be adapted to snap soundboards into place rather than relying on adhesive.
