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. |

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. http://www.voltmanbatteries.com/serv...1-dsh-A/Detail |
