There is a huge difference between a controlled shorting of a battery in the open as it were & it shorting & going thermal in your mod. Once it's enclosed in your mod you'll get a massive increase in pressure & heat pretty much instantaneously that can only dissipate through the vent holes (well hopefully the vent holes), also if it does happen the other big difference is that you probably won't be expecting it, you might be happily vaping away & think ohh mods getting a bit warm . . . .
Also I think with the laptop packs, they're set to monitor the whole pack so if only a couple in the series lose performance it shows that the whole pack is FUBAR & I'd be happy to use my own but no way would I buy them, not worth the risk.

I have used batteries from laptops with no issues. Even one that would not hold charge at all. Strangely enough all the cells held charge just fine. There are rumours that the charging circuits are programmed to only allow them to be recharged a set number of times. I can find no proof of this, seems to be a bit "conspiracy theory", to force us to buy more batteries. I've just got hold of a used Sony one with 6000mah(each cell should be 3000mah). I will compare these to the Dell ones I've been using. I had my suspicions after working in the alarm industry, whereby you can program the alarm to throw up a warning at any time day or night. Such as a service warning just like a nag screen on an unregistered program on your pc. Doesn't stop it working but worries most people so you call an engineer in to reset it.
