I got 2 of the Tenergy 18650s 2600mah with PCB from battjunction, and have been using these without any problem at all.
I got 4 more of which 3 registered around 3.6 - 3.8v on my DMM, and one 0.00.
So, I put 2 of the good ones into my charger (a cheapo multi charger)
(5.5V / 350ma)
I came back 2 hours later to check on them, and they were HOT!
One of the cells was almost too hot to touch, and the other was less.
Both measured 3.96V while still on the charging cradle hot
Now, one is 3.69V and the other 3.79V
My original 2 batteries never did this.
Am I missing something here? I am a newb at Li Ion chemistry, but this is bad right?
