Oh yeah, that's usually like $40-$50 worth of cells just tossed.

All the laptop salvage cells I have test with high internal resistance and low capacity, though the packs I salvaged them from were not dead, just low in capacity.

They may be worth $5/cell new, but not so much in their current state.
