If you don't know why it was acting up and have no way of knowing if there is internal damage, you have no idea how it may fail next. Might keep working forever, might stop working again at random like before, might dead short and blow it's top. Why risk it for $5-10?
This has been my point
@jinx'd .
I didn't realize that you didn't know that the batteries had no protections. I have retired that single 20s of mine taking my own advice.
With that one, I had it in my copper Panzer tube and I picked it up to use it and it was like not hitting at all. Not really. I couldn't tell if I was getting no vapor whatsoever or so little that it was barely noticeable. (ya had to be there)
I took it all apart and checked everything and it all looked fine. Put it back together and same thing. The battery had maybe 8 or 10 pulls on that charge and was working fine when I put it down last. Put another 20S in the mod and it lights right up.
I put the suspect battery in my ohm reader and I don't remember it if actually gave a voltage or just the symbols for when it's low, but I then put it on my Opus and it read 2.7. It should have been at least 4 volts.
The internal resistance test, run several times, came out ok. I ran it through the capacity test, which takes HOURS, and that also came out fine. It returned to a little over 2000 mah and held it's charge at full. The multimeter told me 4.18.
I put it in the Cut and it seems fine.
BUT...
That little voice keeps nagging at me, in pretty much these exact words:
