had a few dead laptops and stripped down there battery packs

[virus2k]

the first one has 6x of these batterys

lgeas31865

looking them up they seem to be :6x LGEAS31865 18650 3.7V 2400mAh

seems i found some good batts here and seems they are not a complete loss.. does anyone know the max amperage that these have ? are they good for mech mods ? or better suited to vv/vw mods , are they protected or unprotected... also there all snub nose aswell...

i will report on the others in a few.

The charging circuit inside the laptop battery normally has protection in it. All the batteries I've removed are unprotected.
I don't know the amperage on them batteries, but all the ones I've tried are good batteries.

heh, right the above ones where blue

just opened another battery pack and these ones are red/pink color

and have the indent as : UR18650a N36a with a C on the battery 6x of those..... dam im going to raid peoples labtop batterys hahah you can get some jems in em though not sure on these pink ones.

I think red/pink and the UR prefix will mean they are Sanyo. Probably from before they were taken over by Panasonic.

Laptops are often real battery killers over just a few years so you've done well to get good ones.

If I remember, the protected ones used to be a little longer. I'd have to check up on that, it's a few years since I played with such things.

that 14x batterys i have now that are 18650s LMFAO the 2x panni ones though i have that are 3400mah where just recently bought so far all seem fine tried one of them in my vv/vw smok and it worked

[spikus]

Sounds like a right good find !!

[giles]

There were 8 in mine - a Samsung I think it was - LGR18650OU, which I believe are 1350 mah. Still seem to have most of that left after about 6 years in the laptop, maybe because it wasn't used much.

The board or a couple of bad cells can make it sedm a dead battery. I've had great cells out of dead batteries, but if you can find unused ones(check the stationary cupboard) they're full of good cells. Rule of thumb- the better the laptop the better the battery.
