I want some of these cells… But a 3p of them is only 7.5 Ah

These cells aren’t going into a board, I just need a heap of them for higher voltages for testing. Having 50% capacity or whatever is fine

I put in an offer of $400 AUD for buying them in bulk. He accepted pretty quickly.

Some kind of glue fixing the cells to the pcb, and nickel soldered though the pcb. Looks easy to pull apart. I only tested one unit, the cells are all 3.3-3.4v

Just offered $200 on 5 packs, will see how I go
Just realised that making a 48S pack from these cells will be as simple as connecting the leads on 4 packs, super easy!

Does he offer pickup? Much rather drive for an hour over the $75 delivery

Yes he does, that’s what I’m doing, just change the shipping option to local pickup at Checkout.

FWIW apparently these packs were made by Darfon Electronic Corp.

For new cells, that seems like a pretty good deal. Especially if we’re counting geography.

Exactly why I jumped on it, expected the guy to counter-offer, but he just accepted.
Australia is so hard to get batteries to here, because by the time you factor in shipping and GST, the cost to import ends up usually being the same as buying local. Not to mention we don’t exactly have many places selling cells so its easy for them to be priced VERY high.
Oh also the aussie dollar is FUCKED

@glyphiks @kalebludlow lowdown time, they’re ANR26650M1A’s, so 2300mah, 70A continuous, 120A pulse.
Seem well constructed, apart from suspect mains connectors.
All of the packs bar none came with 40.6V charge, so 3.38 per cell.
