105Ah prismatic LiPo4 cell capacity Test from China AliExpress

[@imho7250]

Those LiFePO4 prismatic cells are a pain because there are so many different physical sizes that its hard to say “ok, by volume it’s a 70ah cell”. I bought some 32650 cells but you know those are all about 5000-5500 mah with an oddball 6000 mah now and then.
Luckily I ordered locally and once i tested all the cells the seller discounted them to the price of cells with 5000 mah.
With Aliexpress I guess you are at the mercy of the seller. I ordered one thing for them (Votol EM-30s controller). Luckily the item had no problem but customs tacked on $10 to the $40 price for the controller and shipping. Not a big deal but it scared me away from any big ticket items.

They were supposed to be new cells :(

Hi Azz, are they LiitoKala or Varicore by any chance?

[@smartazz]

Lol funny you should mention that. Both Liitokala and Varicore cells

[@dtvking]

@@smartazz The actual value may be under the white top

[@TheKilowattChallenge]

Ahh that sucks. Can you get your money back?

[@smartazz]

It’s a nightmare m8. Gotta return them, then they don’t accept it and it gets sent back to you, then you have to pay import tax again …..

[@TheKilowattChallenge]

@smartazz yeah that's a pain.
