Just having a bit of a tidy out and I have three old battery packs from some expired laptops.
Out of curiosity, and because I haven't got around to recycling them, I've extracted the cells from the battery packs.
Are these now "unprotected" cells since being removed from the charge/discharge controller pcbs in the battery packs? They seem to be the exactly the same size as a "Torchy" 18650 cell. Is there protection inside the cell casing normally?
Can these be used as normal 18650 cells in a torch?
Obviously Im not going to be charging or discharging them anywhere in the house/shed just in case.
Out of interest what would happen if I were to shoot one with the air rifle?
