BLF Community Battery Pulls Overview Thread (Laptop packs and Tool Packs)

The amazon description is all kinds of wrong (says it’s for an Acer?)… the battery pack that arrived was in Dell-branded packaging and the pack itself had a Dell label on it. I figured at $11.xx with Prime shipping, it seemed worth the risk.

That is def. a dell battery, i have torn down a quite a few of that exact model. whether it is an original dell or clone, that i do not know.

I’m new to the site, but I have a bunch of these Philips packs (M4605A) out of medical equipment. They get replaced every 2-3 years regardless of use. They contain 9 CGR18650CG (MH12210) each and were exceptionally easy to pull compared to the drill packs I’ve done. Cadex charger primed the cells and all of them reached at least 90% of the rated capacity. As back up batteries they probably haven’t been cycled at all and arrive at full charge to be recycled.

Thanks guys, list updated

Not bad for a free battery pack on this one.

Forgot to add I have not seen this pack for less than $5 per cell…

EDIT
Wife sent me the image, i just didn’t read my email. image of cells updated

Wow they look a lot cleaner then mine :_( So much glue I had to bin the wrappers.

How tough was the Lenovo battery to open?
I really like the UR18650ZT cells, only have a few of them myself.

The lenovo was not that bad…maybe a little tougher than the others.

The nightmare pack was an HP pack that I tore apart awhile back…sheez!

Oh…and are the CGR batteries Panasonic?

Yea HP packs are a bear and the CG18650E are Panasonic’s

I think you mean V instead of mAh. :wink:

Der…my bad.

Corrected.

I joined late last week so I could post this harvest album; Only now do I decide to post it :P
