I had no idea what that disc was but I still have it. Did not know they needed to stay wrapped. So this battery im just gonna huck and run my solo battery for now before buying some more. Thanks for that advice though. I would have not known.

cool, one caution though before you huck the battery. shorting a lithium cell causes them to burn / explode / etc. if you don't have battery recycling and you for example throw it in the trash where some metal can bridge the positive and negative contacts you will cause a fire. And the entire side of the cell that was wrapped is the negative contact. Everything besides the positive post is the negative contact, hence that insulator around the positive post. you could now cause a short circuit with a very short piece of metal. if you can put the battery in a ziplock or wrap it with saran wrap etc you will be safer. or just go to best buy, they accept electronics waste for free.

in the future i would not recommend unwrapping cells without the stuff to wrap them back up again. while the numbers might help you out, for me its easier to put the cell in a low drain device and get known cells for the high drain devices.

Also if it came from a flower mate it probably was actually 8 years old and Samsung wouldn't surprise me either! But yes please just buy some new molicel

On this site below, you choose a battery brand, then enter a “code”. I entered just “H5IY”, and chose “Samsung”.
That’s where I got the year 2017 I posted earlier. I’m not familiar with “Flower Mate” products, but regardless, any 18650 battery that’s 8 years old, is most likely near or at the end of its useful life.

I don't know, my old ones still seemed to work fine enough, just don't last as long
