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.
Taken out of Panasonic CF-VZSU46U 9xNCR18650
wow that does look pretty bad, but i will get the info updated in post one thanks dru_dragon
Sorta like the picture of the BigMac and what it is you actually get!

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. 
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

I noticed in your album link that you are “jump starting” cells that are sitting at voltages too low to charge with your i4.
While that may work to get them to charge, these are NOT like Ni-MH or NiCads and this is NOT a good idea. All that energy that those over discharged cells accept could suddenly and catastrophically be released in a very short time (fire). At the very least, I am sure you have already noticed that those “jump started” cells have a high self discharge rate. That alone make them of no use, and if they self discharge in a short period of time you have a problem. You should safely discharge those cells and recycle them ASAP.
Besides, you now have many cells and can “afford” to be selective on which ones you keep. As a rule of thumb, any cell discharged to below around 2.5V is irreversibly damaged and should be recycled.
thanks great info in here
