Most likely low grade P42As that are rewrapped to look like grade A. Probably 80-90% performance of a real P42A.
My pic of one, it’s on the bottom

Some people said they are straight up fake cells but who knows. Not cheap so possibly legit enough.

Got to buy 200 fake cells to test. Do it for science or just buy them from 18650 battery store. They start at 5.99. Its $1215.51 for 200 cells from 18650 including shipping.

I was on another forum and some woman from alibaba messaged me directly after i commented that the printing looked to dark to be real. She assured me they were real. They had a minimum order requirement of 500.

I bet 2 dollars those are the shittiest fake cells you could find
Edit: can’t you get like a sample from the seller? most vendors do
How many companies though would contact you to say that, yes, the cells are low grade rewraps or fakes? 
I’m not saying those are low grade or fake, no way to know for sure from one photo. I’m just saying that no company that has crappy cells will say anything other than they are genuine high grade cells.

Won’t work.
Any sleazy company can ship you great samples and then send crap when you place a bulk order. Our only defense is buying from a company we know will only sell genuine high grade cells.

Tbf I’d accept questionable quality if you had a guarantee of good return policies. Like I refuse to buy Amazon unless it’s something I’m fairly sure I’ll need to return, like a keyboard that I don’t know if I’ll like or maybe a flipsky ESC

Wait what??
Yeah Amazon is immoral, it relies on scale to abuse labour laws, dodge tax, and manipulate information it has on competitors because of its position as both a marketplace for third party products and a producer of first party ones. If I want to try something out (a keyboard with a different type of switch that idk if I like etc) then amazon gets the order because I can return it and keep the money. Bezos should be taxed out of existence.

Lol. I find it strange that people choose to run balance wires over the top of all the others when you have a perfect channel to route it through using the gap between the cells.
Wonder when this pack was built. This guy claims to be a proficient battery builder, but its very rare to see a nude photo like this of his work… wonder why? 
Edit: just realised its advertised as 10s6p and its only 10s3p 
Edit 2: its 10s6p, i’m blind

Coincidentally all that over lapping could have been solved by flipping the pig tail over…
Claims being the key word lol

I can’t tell how bad it is? Like the uneven kapton tape looks bad, the balance wires cross over, and the alignment of the P groups looks a bit wonky but it looks mostly safe?
Yeah would need more pics
