Well the 28As were available in battery packs a while ago, coming to $1.25 each if I’m remembering correctly. So, these are probably legit older pack pulls or “not yet placed into packs” stock, just like the 28As were. They seem to be good batteries, the 28As anyways. In fact I think I have them in the exact battery holders for them as in the picture on the site, deja vu!
Just looked on fasttech and theirs have the same 2D number if that’s the date code, they are $13.97 a pair, so half the price from DX, BUT in the past DX seemed to get slower and slower my last order from them took about 5 months, since then I’ve avoided going there |(
INR/IMR is high drain right? I kind of assumed they’d have a longer lifespan being tougher cells and all that, interesting.
Thinking of driving a xml2 around 4amps intermittently so not really stressing them so much.
I’m only just getting into 4.35v cells charging with a power supply for testing and to 4.2v the rest of the time.
Those discharge graph come up very blurred here but looking closely the Samsung 32A’s seem to do better than the LG E1’s. Gonna blow some dough on the puppies.
Were you able to use the DX coupon code BL5F for an addtl 5% discount? If yes, how did you do it? I tried it earlier but was advised the coupon code is invalid.
Can’t figure this one out, just been extrapolating the only graphs I can find on 4.35v batts and apparently the newer LG E1 and Samsung 32A has much more voltage sag than the older LG D1. Really?
So I’m wondering if I’m reading the graphs wrong, or the newer batteries aren’t as good.
See how the older LG D1 offers more available capacity down to 3.4v? cant be right surely.
Comparing the two different graphs is like comparing apples and oranges, I’m sure HKJs equipment is a lot more accurate. You can see in this thread that the LG D1s average 1400-1700mah till 3.4v, so on that basis these batteries are just as good as the D1s in holding there voltage.
Thanks for the tip been looking for some decent cells! :bigsmile:
Seriously a good deal if you can’t get those cheap laptop packs. I ordered 3 sets (with bulk rate) for a total of $40.07, that comes to $3.34 apiece shipped. That’s a really good price for these.
Don’t worry about the charge voltage, even if you don’t charge to 4.35V, you still get close to 3Ah capacity.
Ordered four sets, I must have more money than sense but don’t really have much of either
Actually do have a use a use for most of them and a couple of sets to keep as spares.
Hope they get here before Xmas.
I ordered a single set with a couple small items to get to the free shipping level. I can always use a set of 4 matched batteries for things but hope I will see them before winter……
I bought several days ago because the price is good.
My charger 4.18v load summary, these batteries are able to v 4.35. A lost only 4.20 v 200 mAh experts say.
Worth buying more for the offer anyway?
