I love to (or used to before we switched to WFH) check in on the battery recycling bins in the office and look for discarded laptop battery packs. Usually they are full of good 18650 cells (except for 1-2 bad ones that bricked the pack).
- StavrosK 6y agoOh yeah, that's usually like $40-$50 worth of cells just tossed.
- Zak 6y agoAll the laptop salvage cells I have test with high internal resistance and low capacity, though the packs I salvaged them from were not dead, just low in capacity. They may be worth $5/cell new, but not so much in their current state.
