How did this salt water thing ever get started?
Never, ever use this method.
We donât need to discharge the packs in the first place. Just tape them up.
Salt water discharging is incredibly slow and causes electrolysis destruction of the tabs, exposing the inside of the cells and creating toxic sludge water if you let it go far enough, and never fully discharges the cells anyway. If the tabs are gone we have no way of confirming that the cells are discharged either.
Itâs just not needed.
I accept that itâs a very popular bit of advice for many web sites but theyâre all just repeating something they have heard about from somewhere else. Here are my tests for round cells, where the metal is a lot thicker than what LiPoâs use:
I think thatâs what Samsung, Murata, and LG recommends. Shotguns work well too.

ummâŠjust kidding folks (because thereâs always someone who believes me when I say stuff like this).
This is so weird. I just asked Molicel what I should do with my old cells and they said âjuggling practice.â Its crazy how different products need such different disposal methods!
Fogstar hasnât got 30 and 50mmâŠ
I sent a request to nkon, they will stock wide nickel soon
(okay not so soon, they told me 12 weeks before you can order it xD)
Also nkon is a tad cheaper for me (especially cells) because no import tax from GB
but maybe the environment and your health wonât agree
guess this too is a no no?
