It's also worth it buying them from trusted sellers from aliexpress, since they cost 2-3 dollars each and they come with ~2600-3000mAh capacity, with a discharge rate of more than 15 amps
Thanks! Great video :-) I'm a beginner so I'll almost certainly ask silly questions :-) Are these batteries more likely to explode while separating them? If so, do you know why? I also have a Liittokala charger - it's great. I assume that batteries salvaged from low-power devices such as laptops probably would not have the required specifications for power tools or electric bikes? Specifically the maximal current they are able to deliver? Cheers.
low chance of exploding, because they have run out (discharged). For electric drills or electric bikes, these batteries are too weak. Max discharge 5-6A.

Is it a good idea to put different brands in the same battery pack?
for diy it's not the prolem, there no huge amount of power.
no dont ever put diferrent brands batteries NEVER cuz they can blow up exactly into your face
