CGR18650CF from laptop pack?

Hello.

I took 8 of the following batteries out of a laptop battery pack. Do you have any information about them? I could not find anything useful.
How good, safe, expensive are they? Are they protected? Are they better than my Trust/Ultrafire cheapos?

Thank you :slight_smile:

Let's not forget that even the Ultrafire claim protection on almost all cells most do not have any protection at all in fact and even if they have can still be a total junk.

Yep, the laptop was bought 2007 and costed 1700โ‚ฌ. It was expensive, but it is indeed old.
So you think Iยดm good to use them?

?
Have you at least tested the voltage of each cell with a DMM?

Not yet. But I always test batteries before I put them iinto a light. Every time : )
