Hello.
There is a seller on ebay (don't want to post link until I'll buy by myself and verify). Which sells as he says, brand new Toshiba laptop batteries. These are 6 cell batteries at 10.8 volts and 5800mAh capacity, which means that they have 6 pcs of 2900mAh 18650 cells inside. The most interesting subject is the price - $12.99 & free shipping (in US). While I have took apart a lot of laptop batteries, I never had seen 2900mAh cells inside. By googling, the most common 2900mAh 18650 cells are Panasonic NCR18650PF and NCR18650PD cells. But I've very rarely encountered panasonic cells in laptop batteries (have took about 1000 of them apart). I only meet panasonic cells inside panasonic laptop batteries. So what is your guess, which cells these can be? I don't expect to see high-drain INR/IMR chemistries there, so it should be some old skool 18650 cell. Any ideas?
