Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to its DIY nature, appealing to viewers interested in electronics projects and repurposing old components. The clear, step-by-step visual demonstration without narration makes it accessible to a global audience.
Summary
This video demonstrates the initial steps of building a rechargeable inverter at home. It shows the disassembly of an old SMPS (computer power supply unit) and a Toshiba laptop battery to extract usable components, including lithium-ion cells, which are then tested with a multimeter.

Product placement
Old SMPS: This is a computer power supply unit that is being repurposed. It acts as the casing and provides some components for the inverter. Its removal would change what happens in the video.
Toshiba Laptop Battery: This is a battery pack that is being disassembled to extract individual cells. Its removal would change what happens in the video.
Lithium-ion cells: These are the individual battery cells extracted from the laptop battery pack. They will be used to power the inverter. Their removal would change what happens in the video.
Multimeter: This device is used to test the voltage of the lithium-ion cells. Its removal would change what happens in the video.
