I probably don't want to hear the answer to this this question, but here goes.
I have about a dozen AW 18650 2600mah cells qhich I've been using for a few years.
The protection circuits have failed on a number of them so I removed the cicuit, rewrapped and carried on using them. Since then I've removed the boards on all of them to avoid getting caught out in the dark.
I'm treating them with care, as I would an IMR cell, as regards over discharge over charge etc.
My worry is, are the LiCo cells inrinsically less safe than IMR cells?
Shpuld I dump them before they dump me?
Thanks for looking.
