Massive post on where to get lithium-ion batteries everywhere in the world! Look at Post 2-5 for info, And Canada Post 123

Ok, thanks guys!

Following this thread , :+1:

Very likely same cells as used in some fake NCR18650Bs.

No markings on bare cells.

Look at that :open_mouth:
I’m on the hunt for genuine brand cells with good capacity and 10A continuous for 2 bucks a piece.
I have found them at i.e liionwholesale but they’re sold out.

Yeah,
The official flagship store of vapcell, vapcell and five major brands of li-ion and molicel batteries are all genuine guarantee

Just a note — Nealsgadgets doesn’t ship loose cells to the US anymore. The order will complete, and the money will transfer, but will go into indefinite limbo with no feedback as to why.

Tesla/panasonic are the same batteries?? :open_mouth:

Panasonic manufacture the batteries for Tesla. Not sure about all batteries but quite a few

Watch out for the newer LTO (lithium titanate) chemistry cells. There are good genuine Toshiba SCIB cells and genuine 66160 YinLong cells but also many poor quality pouch cells and 66160 cells that have been recovered, typically with other brand names such as GTK.
Now, GTK IS NOT a manufacturer, but a wholesaler of re-wrapped cells - these are sub-standard and often second hand. I purchased 100 X 66160 40ah LTO cells only to find out they were old used YinLong cells that were lucky to test out to 27amps and many fail to hold full charge. That was a $7,000 hit that Kevin Lee from Shenzhen Foxell Technologies Co., Ltd & Shenzhen Foxelion batteires Company Store on AliExpress sold me. The other was from the same store, 160 X 12.5ah LTO Pouch cells. They tested out to 10amps and 65 failed on their first use. I found the original manufacturer “Microvast” who stated these were “trash” waiting for recycling or disposale (obviously being sold out the back door). That was another $3500 hit to my pocket. Kevin Lee is denying these claims but completely unwilling to work with me on a refund or resupply of the correct cells. Be warned, DO NOT BUY FROM the Shenzhen Foxell Technologies Co., Ltd & Shenzhen Foxelion batteires Company Store on AliExpress! …that is unless you like trowing your hard earned cash down the drain?

You often get what you pay for.

I see too many people bypass my store to save a couple $$ only to end up disappointed. Just recently a customer purchased 400 Chinese cells which he thought was a better deal then my price, ended up 1/4 the claimed capacity. He’s building e-bike packs for his customers, thought he would have known better

Can you add my store please for New Zealand

I use a CBA to test every batch. I check everything physically and also test resistance.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only seller in NZ that checks every batch with a CBA, most shops just take suppliers at their word

Added.

Much appreciated

Could you please put New Zealand above it? Otherwise it appears as Australia

“You often get what you pay for.”?

I paid a premium for these batteries thinking the seller was doing the right thing, $67AUD, now I can get the same cells for approx $40 in the same quantities. I wasn’t looking for cheaper cells at the time, just anyone who could supply me 100 X 66160 cells in one order. The problem was me not firstly getting a sample, secondly, trusting a seller on AliExpress would be honest and send legitimate batteries. This battle I am still fighting has been going on for months. But now, many of these sellers do not sell fakes and moved on because the real things LTOs/66160 prices have come down dramatically. I am just letting the public know of my experiences with the Shenzhen Foxell Technologies Co., Ltd & Shenzhen Foxelion batteires Company Store on AliExpress. I’ve even asked AliExpress and Alibaba to step in, but it seems they are siding with the seller and just hoping I go away……

Righto, not in your case.

It’s just the normal thing that I see on here of going cheap.

I have a CBA so I always buy a couple and test them to check. That’s not always going to work though because many stores use their own wraps and the oem cell can change.

Very cheap Samsung INR18650 35E
I wonder if they are genuine…
From e2.06……e1.59 per cell, depending on the quantity.
Free shipping to where I live

Fake, there’s even a customer’s photo showing a result of 2600mAh

You can never get genuine that cheap

Go for one of the genuine sellers and message them asking the lowest price for x quantity

Did anyone try the batteries of the Basen Store on Aliexpress ?

I have received a few of the LG HG2 and the Samsung 30Q and they look genuine but where quite cheap. I still need to test the LG HG2 in my charger, though.

Just remember that an analyzing charger is fine for measuring capacity but not for checking authenticity. There’s plenty of fakes around with a genuine capacity but shows its true colors on a high load.
