Been having a good look around, as I have just begun my 18650 obsession.
I amprocessing about 150 laptop batteries and have so far yielded approximately 450 cells with charges above 2v, have about100 at less than 1v, which I may try to regen should time allow and also about 50 17760s why ch seem really solid so ma use these for small electronics projects, what have you guys been doing with these as you come across them whilst harvesting?
I am keen to start small and build a battery that will be the leisure battery on my VW Camper that will deliver me 240v via a small 12v inverter. Charging via the dyno would be a bonus, but I feel an alternator upgrade needs to happen first. How do 18650s get on with split charging units in vehicles?
I have been inspired by Jehu Garcia, EV West, HBPowerwalls etc... but am keen to understand the challenges our unique British weather bring to the party!
I have been scouting for UK subscribers so that I can follow your threads, is there any boards for UK DIYers?
Sorry for long post was supposed to be a quick Hello!
