Hello guys,
I have crosschecked a lot of threads here, starting my first harvest. I have got around 140 notebook packs.
From first 30 pack, I have got mostly Samsung (the blue one, rated 2800mAh - I am not home and will edit the post with specs). I have got those packs in average for around 1.2E/pack - that I already consider too much, but in a future I hope to get better source.
Now my question is, has anyone of you ever tried to build a pack from 1500mAh batteries/or in general from batteries withless than 60% of original capacity? Most of my Samsungs has around 1500-1700mAh and IR=120-160mOhm. I try to cycle them and they looks solid, not much change in the capacity, itdoes not go down, but neither much up. They also do not heat.Everywhere wecan find a charts, how the li-ion batteries behaves when you cycle them to 80% capacity, then they are considered 'dead', but around those 80% the curve does usually look 'almost flat (linear)', isn't it that some chemistry will be still working just fine and handle another hundreds of cycles with much smaller capacity loss?
I know, that some of you has a problems with old Sanyo or Sony, that heats up, or dying fast with every cycle, but those Samsungs looks solid and stable at this point, does someone of you have tried to use them in your power walls with such a 'small' cap? What is your opinion?
