Heh. Just a bit of fun.. some bits in my "lab".. I discovered this curious battery..don't know if you can see in the picture in the middle, it's tiny yet states 12V 23A!! I think it's for a camera for flash maybe, or a lighter perhaps. There's also a tiny ickle 3.7v LiFePO4 and a strange Mitsumi motor..I have no clue what that's come from.

That battery will probably be some form of NiCad, they have no discharge limit except heat meltdown. The Mitsumi motor looks like those used to drive racks like that for electrically operated drawers, carriage returns etc. You haven't been stripping an ATM cash machine have you? :D

That LiFePO4 lasted 2-3 years approx, even from leaving flat/uncharged for long period..

is it really the E-bike component ? I just think it is for small electric toys... ;-)
and for that battery which is in the middle, that is alkaline battery, the model number is 23A, not the current is 23A. :). this kind of 12V batteries was made by 8pcs 1.5V coin cells.
you can find it in your door bell...
