Hi everyone, I would like to ask you if it is okay to use salvaged laptop battery on my salvaged powerbank board.
I attached photos.
Any advice and suggestions would help. Thank you!
Can't find any info on the chip in the one I opened, the charge management should be safe enough but will take longer to charge if you use more than 1 cell in parallel. Its designed for single cell terminal voltage - so don't use cells in series.

I have had used the labtop batteries in my Powerbank of smartphone, when you want to use those batteries, something that you should be concerned are the voltage and current, are they match or in the rated range, does the salvaged powerbank board could afford the V and I, if your answer is yes then you can try it.
