<div>On the way home a the other night I stoppoed into Aldi for
some bits and notice a 14.4v Acer laptop battery next the the
recycling point and thought I wiuld do the responsible thing and
teuse rather than have it go through a process of recycling.</div>

<div>Checked each cell and they were all at 4.18v, used a iMax B6
charger and disscharged then to 70% for storage and from the mAh
disscharged they appear to be 2700(ish)mAh even though the
labels say 2500mAh.</div>

<div>So very happy with that find, I'll put a pair in my DIY
transmitter and properly record the process of salvaging used
laptop cells fow low power application.</div>
