    “What, are you scared of my widdle duffel bag full of assorted raw lithium cells I scavenged from old laptops?”

    I actually used to have a box of 500 18650 cells that I recovered from old laptops, and that box terrified me. They were all inspected for damage and were nearly stacked in little plastic compartments,but if one had decided to go off, it would have burned my house down.

      Check out www.batteryhookup.com for a good time. I bought a few dozen unused modem backup batteries there for $50 and shucked enough 18650s out of them to build a new ebike battery.
