Recycling Li Batteries?

[Pro_Vapes]

I finally ordered a Power Bank Case for some batteries I tested and recycled from an old laptop battery pack.

I’m wondering if batteries that’s no longer suitable for vaping would be okay for recharging other batteries via a Power Bank?

Continuing the discussion from Recycled Laptop Battery Packs:

I recently came across a Youtube video about recycling laptop battery packs. I realized I had an old broken laptop so I ripped into it and for sure there were 6 18650 batteries in it. I tested the batteries and 5 of the 6 were salvageable. The thing is I’m having trouble finding info for these batteries. The 5 batteries read 4 volts each and I check the weight and they all were 42.6ish grams so they are not fakes. I just can’t find what amps they are. Any suggestion on how to find info. Here is what’s on the batteries.

For use in a powerbank I’d think it would work, that’s gonna have a “normal” power draw, right?

Found a post on candlepower that might be relevant tho:

Too much choice, need advice.

Flashlight nerds pioneered everything we do with 18650s didn’t they?

Charge a cell phone or tablet?

An iPad charges 2.1A at 5V.

I’d think an unprotected ICR could handle that, I guess the biggest question I’m wondering is there any circuit protection in the board in the Power Bank Case you’re considering (your link went to a page full of different products, and the ones I clicked on didn’t specify)?

Man, they sure don’t give a lot of details. Maybe ask over at the candlepower forum? My inclination is that it will work just fine, but I don’t know.
