I bought some store return tool battery packs to yield some high current 18650 cells, one pack was a EGO 56v 2a pack, looked new. I took it apart and found
14 cells, all measured 3 volts exactly, I thought they may be INR tool type cells that run 3.2 v but that won't equal 56v, 14x 4 volts = 56 volts so they must be
4 volt lion cells (the battery pack says: 56v 2a Lithium ion), weird how they all measure exactly 3v.
One more thing these cells are the same length as 18650 and same diameter on the ends but quickly taper out in the middle to 20.5mm for most of there length. They are lime green with no markings anywhere, cells are manufacture this way, can't find any info anywhere, if the battery pack is labeled Lithium ion so I guess it's ok the charge these to 4.2v like all lithium ion cells?
