This special was advertised on our local (Australia) Dell web site:
Dell - 6-Cell 53 WHr Lithium-Ion Battery
Works out to AUD$3 approx per unprotected 18650 cell.
Not sure what cells are in there, but recently I recovered the cells from another laptop and got 6 x Samsung ICR18650-24E - in great condition!
make sure they have 18650’s as I got some weird square batteries from a dell lap top once.
A six-cell for $18.25? DO WANT!
edc: if it’d be using prismatic cells, it’d have 3 cells, not 6 (as there wouldn’t be need to use that many in order to gain 53 Whr capacity).
To ObiWan-Kenobi: this pack will, most likely, 2400mAh cells too (as 53Wh at ~11V = 4800 mAh)
