I recently acquired a used Dell laptop pack which yielded olive colored LGABC11865's. I checked the voltage of each and they are all 4.26v to 4.27v. I can't find much info online about them but I'm not seeing anything saying they are 4.30v cells. Are they? Could the laptop have been overcharging them? What gives?

What did the pack label say? Voltage, mAh. Was it a genuine dell pack?
Only found this reference of them being 4.30 I ~think~ I have enough laptop batteries for the "severe weather" coming my way
Interesting, a quick google search on ABC11865 lead me to sites on Aliexpress saying the cells are rated for 4.20V charge. However, it’s possible that they are wrong, as I’m sure a company like Dell would not overcharge its cells.
Was it Dell that had battery packs catching fire?
Hmm . . . I'm thinking they must be 4.30v cells. Found for sale here, but doesn't state max charge. Yes it was a genuine dell original stock pack. I threw away the casing, but I remember seeing 5.2Ah or something like that so I was expecting 2,600mAh cells. This is the current model replacement battery, but I swear my pack was labeled 5.2Ah.
Yes, Dell had the packs that caused fires, but that was years ago (+/- 2006 ?).
