Hey folks, I took a long break from here after building my electric bike (which is kinda kaput for now) but back and bought myself an electric skateboard to fix which requires new cells (dead battery). Really looking forward to taking it out for some fun.
It takes 18650 cells and I plan on sourcing the cells myself and replacing the ones in there, it currently has 10s2p config which I will keep it's 36 volts and 4.4ah stock.
So it seems the stock cells are 2.2ah 18650's. I've been researching my options for cells. However I want to make sure I get genuine cells and not fakes.
Are there some good value USA sources for 18650 cells that folks here know don't ship fakes? or is it less common to find fake cells and I shouldn't worry? should I completely rule out ebay? there are some good deals on there with what seems to be good feedback on the sellers.
Thanks
