Hi,

I am plannig to replace 18650 3.7V 4400mAh on my notebook battery but the cells available have a positive terminal "nose", which make them longer than the original ones. How can I modify these cells to fit in the battery case? Is it dangerous to use a file to make them lower? Any other idea to solve this problem?
Many thanks for your help.

Usually stainless steel construction to keep out nasty acidic lithium salts. If just the cold welded tabs, OK to grind down 50%. but at your own risk of shorting, for which they need internal fuse. Some dont. Sounds like Chinese tolerances.

Unless someone changed the spec, that I do not know well.
18.6 × 65.2 = 18650 or is it 18.6 × 65.0 ??

18.6 + 0/-0.7mm. 65.2 + 0/-1.0mm. I think
