Yes most common is the 18650 Cells, and boy do i have some of those lying around... new ones, old ones from laptops, funny side note when talking about laptops, many of the battery's i have taken apart have been good still, only thing wrong with the battery is the electronic controlling the battery e.g. preventing over charge/discharge and balancing the cells
