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.
@@TheKilowattChallenge next video is on 280ah cells with same problem. I recommend just to buy new from www.fogstar-wholesale.co.uk/product-category/prismatic-cells/

They were supposed to be new cells :(
Hi Azz, are they LiitoKala or Varicore by any chance?
Lol funny you should mention that. Both Liitokala and Varicore cells
@@smartazz The actual value may be under the white top
Dont buy aliexpress
Ahh that sucks. Can you get your money back?
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 …..
@smartazz yeah that's a pain.
