Receiving new li-ion cells

[palomino77]

Tomorrow I am receiving 18 li-ion rechargeable batteries of different sizes 4 x 14500, 8 x 18650, 4x 18500, 2x16340 from Asia. They have been on a container for about a month. Luckily it is winter and it has been very cold, yet being inside a container in the sun, it still might get pretty warm.

My question is: How should I treat these cells as soon as they arrive?

Thank you, I’ll post pictures was I get them

Hey Palo, you might try looking through the "Flashlight Electronics - Batteries Included" Forum on CPF! There's lots of good info there! :crackup:

Nothing personal, Palo. It's just been one of those days. :)

Hello Palomino77,

Simply check the voltage of each cell. You are looking for a voltage somewhere around 3.7 volts.
