Now, before you start tearing things apart, note that the lithium cells in a

laptop battery can contain a lot of power, and you can hurt yourself or set

things on fire if you’re not careful. Sound scary? It should! And if so, then

perhaps you should content yourself with just reading through this

posting, rather than messing around with things yourself. Either way, on

we go.

Once again, I’ll mention that 18650s are NOT AA batteries, and much

more caution is required when working with them! In particular, a

damaged 18650 can easily short out, resulting in a lot of current flow,

heat, fire, and other Bad Things. Really, don’t try this at home.
