Samsung 40T color

Thanks

Definitely a fake with that wrapper. Manufacturers code is not right. Just curious, what does the positive pole look like? Side by side comparison.

I forgot,where did you get it?

Hope you can see it clearly.

It came from Illumn. Always had top notch service from them. Hope it’s legit. Thanks

Mine are baby blue too…their legit… The 48G and the 30T are the same color…

Thanks,
I was curious about the tan/grey one. I haven’t seen one that color. I haven’t been around 21700’s
very long. I might have missed the tan/grey ones.

Illumn website shows blue not gray.

Thanks Kawi

Yep…your welcome :smiley:

The MOLICELL P42A is the same Grey color as the 48G 30T too…

I appreciate all the help . Great group. Glad I joined.

:beer: :wink: :+1:

tried your tan 40t code at batterybro.
invalid.
so where did the tan 40t come from?
can you test capacity?

Just got a response back from Illumn.

“I apologize for the confusion - we haven’t updated our website pictures but all our 40Ts are now this color. We have consistently been receiving cells of this color. ”

They said they’ll run a load test on one and let me know.
I think that’s great service on their part.

I would give them all the tests, just for curiosity. :wink:

If a reputable seller like Illumn says the above it is very likely that 40T cells are now being manufactured that way. Manufacturers can change their wrap and can markings as they see fit. LG also applied some drastic changes to their wraps relatively recently.

Battery cells are technical and industrial products, their manufacturers have absolutely no interest or need to announce changes in their processes with any loud fanfare. It is pretty understandable.

Hi, any idea if this 40T original samsung?
Thank you so much.

First of all, I understand this is not your problem but it is overall better if you can share standard “www” AliExpress links. This is the standard, fuss free link for the above: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001119981096.html

The reason I say this is because stupid AliExpress insists in changing the site language of whoever clicks in these links, instead of following the user's language cookie. But well…

That C&P Official Store looks like a tool battery store; and as far as I can see everything matches, price included. I'd trust them, is all I can say.

Thanks for sharing.

Mooch has tested the Samsung 40T3 :

The 40T3 has a purple wrapper:

Thanks for sharing this. The last couple I got from Illumn are 40T3’s. Pricey, but worth it. Not worried about what little difference in performance would be sacrificed for longevity as none of my current stable of 21700 lights pull more than maybe 12.5A on short bursts of turbo.
