About a year ago upgraded the batteries in my Uniden radio scanner from the original Ni-Cad to a lithium cell.
And at the time there were several commenters (correctly) pointing out some issues.
The biggest problem is that the boost circuit I used was constantly draining the battery.
So now, I'm going to upgrade my previous upgrade to a 2S configuration with balancing and other improvements.
Here is the previous video I mentioned: youtu.be/rMSyX-Ybc0A

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
