The other day, it was raining and I invented something to do. I took the old Li cells from two laptop batteries. The cells were good, the charging system inside the battery went south. I had a heck of a time getting them to fit inside an old Li battery case.
I used it yesterday to drill holes in metal. It was like the Every ready bunny. It kept going and going. I use a .5 amp aftermarket charger for Li batteries. Put it in a metal container when charging, incase battery catches on fire, no internal battery charger protection. No signs of a warm battery when charging.
I'm thinking the laptop batteries I used were rated at 5800 ma hours. Cells were a bear to pack inside case. Only investment was my time.
Surprised the heck out of me as to how well it worked. Have a fire extinguisher in shop. Only charger when I'm there.
