I got 6 red batteries out of the acer laptop pack (2200mah). I testing now 4 in my Liitokala Lii-500.
How do you identify the right model Sanyo batteries ?
The battery got this serial number: first line; MCUA14 and the secondline: 064463 with an big B above the serial.
I made a picture of details: maybe someone can help me with this?
Since you say the pack is rated at 2200mAh, then they are probably standard 3.7V Sanyo UR18650A / R1112 cells. However, most of the Sanyo pulls I have seen with the purple insulating ring have been the UR18650ZT cells, which are rated at 2800mAh. Strange.
There’s an older pink wrapper Sanyo cell with a purple top that was commonly used in laptop packs a few years back. I’m thinking it was a 2250mah cell and I sometimes found them in packs where I expected to see red top Sanyos (2200mah). Some info on older sanyo cells from Boaz here.
Hey guys, i just cracked open a Lenovo battery pack and found 9 Panasonic ncr18650 MH-12210 grey color cells.
According to the info i found, these are 2,900mah cells.
I’d post pictures but i still don know how lol.
you are probably correct.
time to test them out.
are they above 3v each?
do you have an analyzing charger or a hobby charger?
and to post pics you have to host them somewhere and paste in the link using the button with the sunset pic in it.
Hi there snakebite!
The only charger that i have is the Xtar vc2, all the cells showed 3.46v~3.50v. According to the charger, most cells where charged to 2,840mah+. Each pair took about 5 hours on a 500ma current to charge.
sounds like winners to me.
my next step would be discharge at 1a to 3v and see what they deliver.
vc2 can only tell you what it put in.but its a good sign.
Hi there! They do seem to hold their own in my stock Convoy C8 (which is the main reason for me having the need for these cells) so that’s good, i charged them all up and have been rotating their usage. But for now they seem like really good cells!
2) HP MU06 [2011/02]
10.8v 47Wh
6 cells (2 parallel x 3 serial)
=> 6x Samsung ICR18650-22F (2200mAh) [actual]
3) I’m just wondering what the laptop battery pack with the following labels will contain
(this laptop battery still in use, no plan to dismantle yet, but I’m curious what it may contain)
Lenovo (ThinkPad) 2012/05
11.1v 5.6Ah 63Wh
LG Chem 112711 11.1v 5300mAh min.
=> ?? 6x LG 2900mAh??
I wonder if there is any place to salvage high drain batteries Electric Scooters, power tools, other mechanical or heat producing applications probably, huh?
Yep, that is where the “good stuff” is, lol. I’ve salvaged some excellent high-drain cells from packs used in battery-powered lawnmowers, landscaping tools, vacuums, and drills/saws.
Brands include Kobalt, Ego, Echo, Greenworks, etc. The last one I opened was a Kobalt pack, and it had 20x Sanyo UR18650RX (20 amp) cells!
I know this is an old thread but I still have a question.
Recently opened up a laptop battery and
6- ICR18650 –22F Samsung SDI.
Can anybody tell me anything about these?
