|Name=Li-Ion (18650) battery capacity meter |Skills=1337 Skillz, Arduino, Coding, Hackery, |Status=Planning |Niche=Hardware |Purpose=Infra |Picture=Heapof18650cellsnew.png |Tool=No |Category=Electronics }} As of many hackerspaces we rescue 18650 cells from old laptop batteries and other sources

We do have a charger but no good way of testing the capacity of each cell before it goes into the parts pile

Making a capacity tester would solve this. One could buy a chinese unit from fleabay but where is the fun in that? :)
