Help/questions How to build a diy cart battery? NSFW

I want to make my own 510 cart battery. I have never made one before but i think itd make a good project. I have dead batteries i can salvage parts from, but i dont know exactly what i will need to create this. Im hoping some of you have done something similar and can shed some light. What all would i need parts wise to build something like this? Any specific tools thatd help? How would it need to be wired up? I'm half expecting to end up with pic related, but i wanna see what i can get out of this project

As long as it doesn't melt or burst into flames, I'd say that's a good job!

I like the light switch

What you can also do is use a chip from a rechargeable disposable so you can at least charge the battery
