hi
i have a 5 cell diy power bank.
i have extracted some cells from a laptop battery. i charged them using 500ma and then let them rest for few hours .. then discharged them at 500ma below are result.
discharge took 4:11 hour:minutes 2069mah
discharge took 4:14 hour:minutes 2098mah
discharge took 4:15 hour:minutes 2102mah
discharge took 4:06 hour:minutes 2048mah
discharge took 4:17 hour:minutes 2139mah
are they balanced for this power bank ?
that third cell is a bit wonky however, if the cells are all in parallel, you should be fine. Cells are more of a danger when they are in series and one or more can be seriously overdischaged.
My gratitude to those who are willing and able to help others (in whatever way you can)! Being human is more than just existing for yourself.
