Received A123 32113 from Taobao.

This item http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1444 ... 001318.0.0 (but without BMS as on picture)
with shipping to Russia, costs $15.3 per cell, instead $18.91 from a123rc.com
and by the way, shipping costs to Russia is much more than other countries.
I tried three taobao agents, but only taobaotrends.com agreed work with rechargeable batteries from taobao!



this "ammo clips" looks like tear off from big battery

Tested capacity of one cell:
3.6V to 2.0V = ~4.55ah , (spec nominal 4.4ah)

so considering official 10000 cycles of 32113 due to low WH/KG, I think this batteries are best, and buy them from taobao is best solution.

10,000 cycles huh... official by who?

This is all the information i can find on these..
These are very interesting if the cycle life claim is correct for a 80-90% SOC.

But these are an older design of cell. I think they focused on the 20AH pouches after they developed these and the M1 ultras may be really old stock.. any theories?

Hi to Russia, I have been there to Moscow from Texas.

I am hoping if you have a good contact with this person, then please ask them to get us a price for A123 20Ah cells. Just get price per cell *before* adding any shipping cost. We need to find a 2nd supplier of these cells to maybe get a better price for everyone.

Do you think this is possible???

Spasiba!

Same, the 20AH are the lightest for ebike uses. If you can them it would npbe great

[iperov]

you can order them yourself

Iperov, when you say per cell.... do you mean per pack of 4 x cells?
