Today I opened one of the two power tools battery pack I salvaged yesterday.. the Makita and a no name.. No name had YLE 18650E cells which aren't shrink wrapped rather wrapped in thick brown paper. Found 8 of 10 cells viable though whilst trying to undo spot welding, sparks flew and paper caught fire.. took it straight to garden.
After a few mins there, I cut the joining strips and realised that the first 2 cells got hot and vented.. blimey.. sealed those two cells with electrical tape.. need to create a discharger so that I can safely discharge cells like these..
Apparently 30A continuous and had lot of juice in them. In two minds about keeping them inside the house with other cells
