Buyer beware of LiFePO4 batteries from AliExpress

In March I purchased from AliExpress 16 - 320Ah batteries from Seller named esare. I received the batteries about 10 days ago. At first look they looked like 150Ah cells, I did the capacity check on 6 different cells. The cells varied between 177 to 180Ah, fully charged to fully discharged @ 2.5 Volts.
I started a dispute with AliExpress the first of May, because the seller wouldn't give me a working tracking number. I only got the working tracking number a few days before the Cells were delivered. They were shipped from California.
The seller has requested a video of my capacity test. The reason behind the Video.
Lessons learned from buying LiFfePO4 batteries from China:
1) Pay more and buy them from Battery Hook Up or someone like them from
The U.S.!!
2) Check the dimensions of the battery description and compare with other
Sources.
3) Dispute it with AliExpress if the order is not right.
4) Good Luck!!

Aliexpress sided with the seller. It seems they do that with everyone I’ve seen with any dispute about the batteries they but from them! I can highly recommend buying from Battery Hook Up!!!
