Ok so i have some trustfire flame 18650's, I got them off dx and the reviews say they are legit, I have never even fully discharged one with quite a lot of use.
So in anticipation for a phlatlight build (those things can take 9 amps :O) I took the protection circuit off and being way too clumsy for what i was doing, so the conductor for the negative source for the protection circuit shorted with the positive, resulting in it melting in seconds (at least I know they can provide heaps of current )
So the battery didn't vent, it was a little warm and there have been no explosions. The battery still puts out current, I tested by putting it on my tongue because all my multimeters are broken.
It is currently outside in a bottle with holes in it in case it decides to turn into a cylinder of inferno.
Should I be worried? have I lost a 18650? am I making a big deal of this?
Responses are greatly appreciated
