Lucky you! My order was 07/08 but only for 20meters. So they cut it off from a bigger spool.

@Lee_Wright i have been thinking about the steel plated nickel and im not sure its an issue if you still use your cells welded with it. It seems like most 18650 have steel case anyway so it shouldent rust in pack any faster than the cells them self will rust and this is has never been a problem so far unless you get water directly in your pack.

Pure Nickel Strip,10m (1Roll) ofā¦ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P41W5LX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Passed my scratch salt water test for 4 days 0 signs of rust
I also have received what doesnāt seem to be pure nickel from my last order from nkon.
I bought this strip: https://eu.nkon.nl/accessories/battery-solder-strip/nikkel-batterijpack-verbinding-soldeerstrip-27mm.html
Here is the strip after around a day in salt water:
I also tested my other nickel strip that I got from nkon in another order and that one is fine after days in salt water.

I had the same issue with nkon shipping. It took 3 days for it to get to germany, then it took 6weeks yo ship to me. I sent a email to nkon asking whatās up and they said " the business in Germany does this as a favor and they are currently moving their business ". Thatās fine and all but they should let us know ahead of time if itās going to take longer then the āup to 3 weeksā. I would have rather payed $1 more per cell and got them soon from liionwholesale.com so I could ride sooner during summer they should have a option to send it faster that isnāt a āfavorā even if it costs a little more $$.

This is not the first time I hear the quote from NKON āthe business in Germany does this as a favorā.
It sounds ridiculous. You run a business and rely on favors? The only favor I ask from a friend is to
buy me an ice cream, not to ship battery cells all over the world.

Iām waiting on a shipment made at the beginning of august, I saw that they took a holiday. Seems like they have a backlog to work through. Wish they had options for shipping or at least accurate predictions.
It would be cool if they could partner with a US shipping company somehow to offer much better shipping.
I think the lesson of the day is always test your nickel strips regardless of who is the vendor.
I got lucky. This is after days in salt water.

This is all quite worrying, NKON is a company I would have expected to test for this without fail. Shakes your confidence a bit.

And still not sorted out for me. Arjan has promised me a refund and said he will look at cells but hes gone quiet - I gather he is trying to sort things out. I see some nickel is now OOS on his site - at least we can see from that what was affected.
Iād imagine he is on the way to his supplierās place with a baseball bat

Yeah, it really triggers me when I read that in the emailā¦ The context in which he writes that and the way he writes that it comes of as āDonāt even think about complaining about shipping, someone is already doing a favor of shipping your orderā
I think he meant Honkball batā¦ shouldāve left it. Good olāe honkballā¦ oh those were the days.
