I've got a device that uses a proprietary LiPo battery that's not made anymore and can't run off the AC adapter alone. I've been reading up on what I'd need to know to safely replace it with either a different LiPo with the appropriate connector wired on, or a circuit capable of regulating input such that the battery is no longer needed for operation, either from the original proprietary ac adapter or otherwise. And while I've found a number of resources, none of them fill me with enough confidence to risk this device just going at it, though I'm not sure at all if this is because they're incomplete or I'm just overthinking this. Do any of y'all have any resources I could look at to accomplish this in a well-informed manner?

evil_bunnY posted:What's the device? What does the lipo look like? The WiiU Gamepad. It's a 3.7 V 1500mAh battery in a hard plastic shell, with four wires attaching to PCB, but form factor is less important than just keeping these things functional safely. They also sold a 3.6 V 2550 battery in a larger but otherwise similar shell. This Amazon listing has a pic of the OEM battery, but as they've been out of production for years it's likely just one of many no-brand replacements that'd get shipped.

I need a handful of tactile switches for some coronaprojecting, but it turns out shipping 20 switches costs as much as or more than the switches themselves (sad, but not really surprising). As I have to imagine I'm well below whatever minimum weight / volume would increase shipping costs, are there any miscellaneous components that would typically be useful to have on hand for future yet unknown projects, so I can actually get my money's worth out of the shipping costs? Alternatively, is there anywhere better than Digikey / Mouser for buying small numbers of very specifically sized components?

Any recommendations for a surface on which to solder? I need to solder wires onto tiny smt components not attached to a circuit board and it would be real nifty if I could touch the iron to the surface I'm working on. Maybe just a blank PCB?

Dominoes posted:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CBS3G21 I was having trouble keeping the wire in place, so it was solder in one hand, iron held like a pencil, and a pinky holding up the wire. I was thinking it'd be easier if I could tape everything down to a flat surface, but I'm still a neophyte here.

Anyone know anywhere to get cable mount RCA jacks like these that doesn't involve shipping from China? As best I can tell they don't exist anymore and I've either gotta harvest them from other cables or stick a F-F adapter on the end of a plug.

Stack Machine posted:I buy mine from Amazon. Ah gently caress, I got my plugs / jacks switched, thats what I get for thinking about plugs and jacks all day. I'm looking for female terminated ones. There's one listing in the 'frequently bought together' part of that page but they look super cheap even for a china special. E: turns out mouser has them and I'm bad at looking.
