How many milliamps in lipo cells ?
 
I have searched for the answer and got nowhere , here's my question .

i have a 11.1v . 1600 mA 3 cell lipo ,( with a dead cell :censor:) if i take it apart , i have 3 cells at 3.7v . WHAT is the mA of each cell ? .....

Just trying to reuse the cells for other projects ???? , hate to throw it away....

Each cell has 1600 mA.

All the cells are 1600mAh (milliamp-hours). Each cell is 3.7v nominal and they are wired in series to give 11.1v.

Separating the cells is possible not easy because they are pretty firmly attached so it's likely you will bend the cells trying to split them, plus the terminals are usually soldered onto a circuit board on the end of the battery.

Bear in mind that you can get a new 1600mAh liPo for about $9 so it's not the end of the world to ditch it.

From what I've been able to determine, these cells have tabs that are not easy to solder to. With the risk of fire, methinks its not worth while

If you're after cells that can easily be soldered to, check out these A123 cells, at $9.99 each, from a supplier located in the USA. Both club members and I have purchased well over 100 cells from this supplier in the past year, no one has had any sort of a problem or issue with voltmanbatteries.

Thank you all for your replies .question answered .. i got them apart with no fuss or muss,,
I had bought new lipo's from hobby king last week , the old one will be used in lower voltage projects . once again ty all ...

keep ya wings level and ya beer cold ......

Actually they are very easy to solder to and because they are just thin metal tabs they don't transmit much heat back into the battery. The danger with them is tearing them off when you separate the cells as they are quite fragile.
