Another Santa-sack of technical goodies from AliExpress for us to explore.
These videos are not sponsored by AliExpress. I buy all these items myself.
Here are some links to the items. These are affiliate links, but that will not affect the price you pay.
Keep in mind that these products may not meet your country's standards.
Some listings may not work for some countries and some may just be sold out or disappear.
When paying on AliExpress, let the transaction complete before leaving the purchase page as otherwise the purchase may not go through.
The Taohuatan Lake micro-brick model kit - also available in a full size block version:-

USB powered 18/21V clone powertool battery charger:-
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4dYt4KB
I've since explored the circuitry in these and they are relying on the boost chip to limit the current, meaning it runs very hot (about 120C!). The op-amp is purely for the charge status indication.

If you view or add these items to your AliExpress basket they may pop up in the bundle deal section, or you may find other listings at a lower price. So shop about for the best deal.
Supporting the channel with a dollar or two on Patreon helps keep it independent of YouTube's quirks, avoids intrusive mid-video adverts, gives early access, bonus footage and regular quiet Patreon live streams.
