I see a hoverboard at my apartment dumpsters practically once a week. I rip them open for the battery pack, its always a stack of 18650s. I guess i should start collecting the motors too?

a stack of 18650s

(you probably already know) but this is common in a lot of battery packs. Batteries for power tools are good sources for the 18650s too. I never checked but I saw someone open a Tesla car battery and they look like a bunch of 18650s inside too.

I refurbish my power tool batteries instead of buying new ones because it is so easy.
