I expect them to answer to e-mails/messages. You know, at least the usual bullshit messages delivered by the unscrupulous Chinese sellers trying to convince you to drop the dispute.
And they don’t have a support/ticketing system.
I ordered a day after you did and also received my order today. Interesting that the sender’s address is in Greensboro, NC, USA. Not that it really matters but it seems that Aliya is using an intermediary (?) address in the US that later ships to Canada through USPS. No big deal as long as the cells are genuine, which seem to be the case.
6x 30Qs and 6x VTC6s. These are my first VTC6s so I cannot compare, but the 30Qs physically look the same as the others I got from BG in the past (haven’t done testing yet).
I’m using my own battery holder with my own large Beryllium Copper spring, which allows accurate capacity testing up to 3A without a 4 wire method.
-I first started testing the NCR18650GA at 2A current, with a charge voltage of 4,185V and ending voltage of 2,6V.
Capacity at 2,6V, being 3308mAh.
Energy at 2,6V, being 11,56Wh.
Capacity at 2,8V to compare with HKJ.
Nothing checks out, so I can confidently say NCR18650GAs from the Aliya Battery Store are legit
-For the Samsung 30Q, it has been tested at 3A, with an ending voltage of 2,6V and charge voltage of 4,191V.
Capacity at 2,6V, being 2963mAh.
Energy at 2,6V, being 10,28Wh.
Capacity at 2,8V, being 2865mAh.
Energy at 2,8V, being 10,05Wh.
With the tests in mind, I can confidently say that the Samsung 30Q from Aliya Battery Store is legitimate
To end on a final note, my results are quite precise, with good accuracy, but on each of the tests, I did not account for the voltage drop of 0,05V during the tests because of the XT60 connectors and wiring, which may slightly have affected energy tests due to lower overall voltage on discharge.
Therefore, all batteries from the Aliya Battery Store, as of December 2018, are all considered legitimate, can be ordered from the link below:
Struggling to find any reliable store to ship to South Africa since Banggood stopped again.
I now have more flashlights/powerbanks than batteries, a sad state of affairs.
I have tried all the recommended international ones in this thread, no luck so far.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here is a chart with some DC internal resistance values.
The 30Q has 21mOhms of internal resistance according to this graph.
And with my measurement, a minimum measured DC internal resistance of 21mOhm!
Right on spec! Actually, better than most 30Qs.
I can therefore say again, that the 30Q from the Aliya Battery Store is a legit cell.
So, for Canadians all around the country, you can be assured to get legitimate cells from Aliya’s Battery Store. It does take about a month, so not too bad from China at all:
