<div>I wouldn't mind adding a little content to the project/batteries section.</div>
<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><br>
</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><br>
</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>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Won't make it again tonight, family life snares me once again.</div>

The Projects/ subsection of the site is open for anyone to add pages to<br>
if they want to add content.<br>
<br>
I need to reorganise the various tutorials and other reference stuff<br>
sometime as well, so we can add more basic electronics reference<br>
materials etc, any suggestions for a suitable title for such a section?<br>
