I often hear that it’s hard to find someone who’ll rebuild battery packs because it’s not worth it and can be dangerous, so it’s easier to just buy a new one. But from what I understand it’s just a series of smaller batteries all linked together?
Rebuilding seems even easier than building from scratch, just desolder the old batteries and swap them for new ones. Bing bang boom job done. …so how likely is the boom part? lol
What is it that can so easily go wrong that makes people say don’t attempt this on your own?

They’re not soldered together, they’re welded together.
More specifically, the leads between batteries are spot welded on.
This makes removal difficult and reuse almost impossible, pair that with the volatility of lithium batteries and you get: too dangerous to bother.
