pictures of new un-welded cells. Is your pack used or old stock?

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

yea, i forgot to get pictures of the cells, I will get pics when i get home. it is old stock, i salvaged it from work.

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.

Wow, awesome pull, you got some nice cells in there kronological.
I will get the 1st post updated.
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
