The difference between reclaimed vape batteries
and the nicer ones you might buy is the protection
circuitry, or lack thereof. Lithium batteries can be
damaged if they are drained or charged too much
or too fast. Good hobby batteries will have a little
circuit on them that cuts off the power when their
voltage dips too low, and protects against shorts
and dangerously high current with an overcurrent
cutout. These vape batteries usually don’t have
any of that, so you need to add that circuitry
yourself or leave the battery connected to a
charger that has protection circuitry built-in, and
is set to the proper char ...
