Re: What have you fixed lately?

It appears to be virtually identical to the cell inside the Karcher version of the machine so it could be a spare for that but what else could it easily be used for?
Be wary of where you source 18650 batteries, some have been found to be 3 Nimh cells in series with a lot lower capacity (and don't charge well on a Li-ion charger).
