I took apart the battery pack on an older Toshiba laptop.
The batteries are a pinkish red color with
A PFLAY84
Printed on the side.
Based on length I do not believe they are protected.
I have them on my charger now and they seem to be taking a charge just fine.
Does anyone know anything about these batteries? Capacity, amperage etc?
Any advice is appreciated.
As long as they hold a decent charge and don’t burst into flames in the process, I just use ’em regardless in low-stress lights.
I wouldn’t worry about the specifix, but hey, if anyone knows anything, so much the better.
Post us up a pic or two and maybe we can positive ID them.

I believe this is a 2100mah battery. I’m just not sure of the safe running amperage. Guess I have some Google’in to do.
Looks to be a decent battery in mid current loads. It’s not a high drain battery but it should work fine in most flashlights.

The discharge graph at the bottom right shows a decent curve at a 3c discharge current that’s roughly 6.75 amps.
