Iāll just wait until GB fixes their 30Q Code and buy them there. Letās play it safe
But very interesting Store, just like the Colaier one. I read somewhere that Liitokala and Colaier are basically the same company, they just rebrand all their products to Colaier. I like the name Liitokala more.
svicar1, discerning the authenticity of a cell is more than just a matter of measuring capacity, discharge performance also matters, along with looks and shape of the cell.
While I am not going to say there's no chance to find AliExpress sellers trying to sell fake cells, certainly a bit of common sense matters. The AliExpress way of doing things encourages honest sellers, they don't see a dime until the customer has received and checked their packages. The ubiquity of customer reviews helps too.
I only ask if someone tested some liitokala batteries that are rated as 100% original LG or Samsung or Sanyo or Panasonicā¦If this store is trustableā¦
In regards to this LGHG2.I am not impressed at all. I have had two of them. One of them was 15 months old and the capacity dropped to under 2400 mAh. In addition it got so hot on the charger that I decided to recycle it. Iām not home or I would post the photo from my opus. My VTC5 which was a year older and had many more Cycles actually had more capacity.
The VTC6 ended up losing the most capacity in Mooch's accelerated aging test. What a shame is, in my opinion, to pay a price premium and perform like the worst (or worse) after a few months.
Personally Iām not convinced. Charging with 4A is not exactly standard procedure. Surely this āacceleratesā wear, but does not necessarily result in a realistic comparison of different cells. Perhaps with a normal 0.5A or 1A charge rate the VTC6 may have maintained more capacity than other cells. We also donāt know what will happen after 50 cycles. Perhaps the VTC6 stabilises more than the other cells.
Of course, Iād rather see better performance of the VTC6 myself the way the test was conducted, but like I said, Iām not convinced to make a final judgment.
While I appreciate what is published in CPF, two times in my life I've been banned from such forum, the last one in a pretty outrageous way. Until the people in charge there fix their Nazi class intolerance, I'm not gonna bother with them anymore.
