I wouldnt care if it was pink, still silicon case over it

mine is from an old motorola phone

some flashlight recomendation? yours looks nice

@Cole is our flashlight expert

i need something to have in my car, i have one with with with LEDs but is a fucking joke

Go to Cole if you want flashlights that'll outlast you, and go to me if you want flashlights that are cheap

Or a middleground, something Cole would surely recommend you

Then again, with car you hardly have to worry about space constraints

and some good 18650? i need some for various projects

I haven't bought a single 18650 in my life, sorry

Oh, I have

For vaping

But small flashlight don't need 15A continouos discharge

Samsung 30Q is the usual recommendation

available on Gearbest or Banggood cheapish with a coupon most of the time

i have a some I salvaged from dead laptop batteries, but they die eventually

or the LiitoKala ones if you want to go cheap

Depends on dead batteries

If you got ones that came discharged you're SOL

But recently I got one for 5 dollars that comes from a laptop that got broken, and it was near 50% charge

So perfect for storage

They work great and are powering my 6 cell powerbank

some had low voltage but they got 4.1v easily

these genuinely look like a death trap

but if you use them a little, they die after a while

>stepping on li ion pouches

yeah okay

Not in my experience, it's luck/informed purchases

I got one battery that had terrible cells

Rest charges to 4.18v, so all's well

and the voltage doesn't fall considerably

what's your routine for checking cells?

they look great if you ever wanted your own land mine

@ludverk blf a6 + samsung 30q gogogo

depends on yoru budget tho

nvm if its going to be in your car i'd get something bigger

i don't know, it was a 6 cell HP laptop battery that was clearly dead. most of the cells were 0.8v, some were 2.6v. i jerry riged something to revive them. just a 18650 holder with one of that little charging boards glued together. worked OK, most of them got 4

4v or more

i tried to make a power bank with the 2 with better voltage, but it doesnt work very well
