Samsung 18650 35E problems (doesnt charge)

Got nothing to lose at this point. Carefully cut off the wrapper, remove the protection board and sense-wire, rewrap.

Being that it’s apparently still holding voltage, the cell’s probably still good (but discharged), so just use it in a light that has LVP.

Oh, I did it, the cell works fine, I didnt need to rewrap cause the original pink wrap was underbthe clear one they added eith protection circuit, so I deupgraded it to original 35E

Got my 35E and it’s one big mama! My C8+ tailcap stops just before the O-ring but it fits Manker my BLF A6 lol. I’m thinking about doing the unwrap too but I might just leave it alone.

Well, for low current applications its ok with the protection board. They dont tend to fail very often. But if you need higher current I would circumcise the battery. You know, snip the tip off. But you might loose the buttontop in the process, so be careful.

Yeah I’ll be wearing safety goggles for sure. Maybe get the fire extinguisher ready. Run the garden hose from outside into my room.
