Well it looks like summer is over, so it's back to sorting my 'cave' and as a first step, doing something with the (good) 18650 cells I recovered some time back from a prematurely dead Swytch Mk 1 battery pack. They still look good(?) after sitting some months as single cells at about 3.4V (ie after discharge test).
Now that I am regularly using 36V Bosch lawnmower/tool batteries for local trips on my converted touring bike - I have acquired a total of 4 genuine + 1 look-alike batteries - I am wondering could I safely piggy-back a selected set of the spare 18650s onto a genuine Bosch battery for use (and charging with a genuine Bosch charger)?
Has the missing BMS on the Bosch batteries been solved? Is it a matter of hand balancing cell sets?
