While lithium extraction technologies generally focus on ways to get the essential metal out of the ground, there’s another source to mine: existing batteries that no longer work. A new technique could now make that process economically viable.

The highest capacity one that is properly commercially available is the vapcell f15 which is known for quality control issues. Its advertised capacity is 1500mah but multiple sources measured it at an actual usable capacity of 1250-1350.
14500s are fairly uncommon… I assumed these were the much more common 18650.
