Ive been getting batteries from the 18650batterystore.com store but they are limited in selection and not so friendly shipping.
Many many places to get cells from, but who has the largest selection and a high rating for satisfaction.
And or parts as in BMS and the likes would be a plus, if not who do you recommend for that ?

Your link doesn’t work.
Do you mean…
https://www.18650batterystore.com ?
That’s where I get my cells at. 
1 Thank
Yeah i didnt mean for it to be a link, but thats where ive been getting batteries from.. just wondered if i was missing out on a website i didnt know about..
1 Thank
Oh crap i just noticed, the link you put is where i had got batteries from before…
when i go to order this last time i couldn’t log in, figured i checked out as a guest, made an order and just now noticed i ordered from 18650battery.com and not 18650batterystore.com
Damn i feel stupid now… seeing the warning on 18650batterystore.com about copycat websites.. hope the Samsung cells im getting are legit..
1 Thank
By the way, I think that the retailers listed on the following website have a good reputation.
Maybe check out some of the competition?

Ammoseek but for batteries.. awesome.

Another good one that I have used.
He does extensive testing and knows his stuff. Very responsive customer service.
I usually search on the specific cell I want and compare pricing and shipping charges.
I have had good luck with all of them.
I ran across Liion last night looking around.. thank you..
Ever deal with www.18650battery.com before ?
Many times. They are great to deal with.
I did my last order with www.18650battery.com by mistake, meant to do with www.18650batterystore.com
Speaking of batteries, had fun today replacing the battery in my new phone.. well, new in box, but 6 years old, battery was only at 75% capacity..
Breaking in the new one now..
And dang Samsung and their glue.. lol.

I’ve used diy500amp as well. Great selection, fast shipping, reasonable prices. He seems to keep the best of the best in stock more reliably than other places as well.
1 Thank
Well… unless you guys can say im wrong i think i got scammed.. these do not look like my Samsung 35E… also one so far has a dented case..
Has the CCC logo thats meant to Chinese market..
Am i right or not that these are Not Samsung 30Q
1 Thank
And shipped really low.. only 15% and not the normal 60%ish i normally see. Keeping a very close eye on these while charging.
1 Thank
Honestly, they look fine to me. I have seen some changes of labeling over time with batch to batch minor differences. I have come to trust that the guys at 18650BatteryStore deal in genuine cells.
The CCC, to my knowledge, means only that the cell has past whatever certification tests specified by the Chinese.
What makes you skeptical?
2 Thanks
These are not from www.18650batterystore.com
But from www.18650battery.com.. they just dont look the same as my other Samsung cells..
About to order the same thing but from www.18650batterystore.com and compare..
About to run a cycle and test these out..
You are correct about the CCC logo..
2 Thanks
Write or call them and ask. They have always been very responsive when I needed to contact them.
Did you check the cell voltage with a meter before putting them into the charger?
It does seem to be a bit low. I like 3.6 to 3.7 volts. But many sources claim 40 to 60% State of Charge is good.. I am not sure how your charger calculates that percentage… I typically ignore that number on mine. It seems too arbitrary…or just set by an algorithm I don’t agree with. (SOC vs Voltage)
1 Thank
I would notify them and ask for a replacement.
I certainly wouldn’t charge it
2 Thanks
Hmmm OK. I missed that. That may be a different story… Still nothing obviously wrong with the labeling. But that is real easy to duplicate. The fact that they look different from the 35E cells is not surprising.
Good luck! Hopefully they are fine!
