Accucell 6 Testing

[Shawnturner]

Hi,
I’m stripping laptop batteries down for 18650 cells and charging them using tp4056 boards.
I’m currently discharging them to get a capacity reading using a turnigy Accucell 6.

The Accucell treats li-ions as 3.6v nominal and LiPo as 3.7v there doesn’t seem to be any way of changing this

Should I use the Li-ion setting regardless of whether I have 3.6v or 3.7v cells ? ( as determined by the database or the laptop pack info )

Or should I be using the lipo setting to do the discharge on a 3.7v cell to obtain a more accurate reading ?

What if I cannot determine if a cell is 3.6 or 3.7 ?

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn’t find the right solution from the Internet.
