I suppose I can say that more cells in series means more potential safety problems (due to uneven wearing of the cells), so in 3-4S light I’d advise using protected. Unless, of course, someone check the volatges and capacity regularly and knows what he is doing :).

When you forget about a half-spent 18350 for a few years, it happens.
Tried the usual tricks to “jump-start” it, but no joy.
Still got a 26650 that’s bricked, too.
Out of curiosity - is the battery discharged to deathly 0V? Or just the IC problem?
When the protection IC kicks in it just cuts off power delivery.
The cell itself isn’t discharged. The heat from a potential discharge would blow it up
