So I spent the day reclaiming batteries and ended up whit about 50 good 18650’s.
Don’t know what I will do with them, maybe have a give away. But thought I would share a picture of the bounty.
Very cool!, Nice pic. You can never have to many 18650s!
Edit: What kind of voltage are you getting from these batteries??
Nice! What’s that in your sig? Kimber?
Nice.
I see some CGR18650C 2150mAh datasheet. What else did you get? I see Sanyo & Sony colors in there.
I have not been able to do a full test yet, but the enitial test was at minimum and higher for a good battery. Hopefully after I charge them they will be testing perfect
It is a fusion custom
Got some some Sanyo 2600mah’s and some 2250’s. Also got some Sony 2100vs I think.
by minimum voltage, I assume you meant over 2.5v?
I was seeing 2.5v to 2.8v. Nothing amazing. Hoping charging will resurrect the batteries to 4.0-4.1v. I don’t think they will get 4.2v.
Nice! At first your “box-o-liions” was kind of scary/startling, but then I realized that they were stacked purposefully to prevent any problems.
Do you mind sharing what packs you tore down to get these cells?
Yea it wasn’t ideal but better in a box than on the work bench.
The pani’s came from an HP laptop, the sonys came from dell laptops and the sanyo’s came from paniaonic toughbooks
Nice! I would love it if someone could find a good deal on laptop batteries with those Sony batteries. I wonder if they are the high amp ones or not? If so that is really a find.
They are the g7’s so only 2400mah I do believe.
Ah dang…would have loved to have gotten my hands on some toughbooks 
Good enough for me if they are the high amp ones. That would be all most of the 30amp ones are normally.
Unfortunately, they are not. “the high amp ones” will not be showing up in laptop packs, you may find them in powertool packs or similar. “G7” denotes a 7th gen regular cell…
I am unused to seeing the green Sony rap for anything other than high-drain cells, but Sony does make regular cells. Same thing with the CGR cells, the only ones I’m used to seeing are the CH suffix, so when I see a box of green-wrapped cells and cells with CGR written on them I jump to the conclusion that it’s a box of high drain cells. Of course that’s not correct, these are all laptop pulls and therefore low-drain cells.
That does make sense, it’s not like a laptop has a need for high drain cells.
I suspect that hope springs eternal though, for guys like you and me. Of course it’s always misplaced hope. I know better but as I said, I still let myself get carried away for a moment. 
It’s still a nice haul.
Oh heck yea it’s a nice haul! Still miles above the ###fire ones. Really these are still good enough (as long as they charge and hold it) to run most any flashlight. The High amp ones only real advantage is when they are needed for a hotrodded light. For 90% of our lights these are all you really need anyway.
My laptop needs hi drain cells because I modded it with a supercharger ,custom wheels and shift kit .
Cool, I always wanted one souped up like that. 
Needs RAM air…
