Hello all,

My name is William and I am from the great State of Texas in the USA.

I am very excited to be here and look forward to discussing the 18650 life will all of you.

I have collected a fair number of old laptop batteries and am in the process of breaking them apart and testing them.  I am a complete newbie when it comes to this and look forward to sharing this journey with all of you.

Welcome. please have a good read of the FAQ section. we have compiled lots of info there and may answer a good portion of your questions

Thank you. I have started reading through the FAQs and indeed there is a LOT of great information there.

I want to give a shout out to HBPowerwall and Jehugarcia for their incredible youtube channels that I have been watching for about the last year and a half.

I am interested in finding more channels that you guys would recommend.

Also, would like to know if there are more Texas people here, specifically in the Dallas area. I live in Waxahachie, Texas which is about 35 miles south of Downtown Dallas.
