A warning for anyone that comes across these cells.
I have tested many of them from various different manufactured laptop packs from a range of different years but the result is alays the same. On the initial capacity test cycle they are showing nice # in the 1900+ range but on each capacity test cycle after that they drop by 100-200+ mAh per cycle. I cant see these being suitable for a power wall project.

I have only done up to 4 test cycles so I cant confirm whether or not the capacity reaches 0 mAh after 10-20 cycles or if it levels out at some point.

I pulled these out of a 2s3p HP HSTNN-OB41 pack that was rated 55 Wh at 7.2V nominal.

That indicates only 2.18Ah per cell at the 8.4V max, I am not sure the 2.6Ah rating is true..

Got 8 liberated recently, all tested over 2400mAh on 1A discharge. Will try a few cycles to check for the reported capacity loss and report back.

OK, so I tested 3 cells a second time and while all of them had reduced capacity, it was just 20-30mAh less, believe it was due to a bit colder room temperature. So I guess my G8s seem to be working fine...

I have only charge current for all sony li-ion cells:
