There are quite a few videos on fake 18650 cells out there. expecially these. Unfortunatlly I ordered these before watching all of them.
The tops are different also.
The only good news is the fake LG cells are supposed to be around 2,000 mAh and am hoping for the best.
Right now as we speak the cell which I charged at 1S with my LiPo charger reached full or 4.2 volts and is currently at 3.79 volts on my LiPo charger and 727 mAh. If it reaches 2,000 mAh before it goes to 3.0 Volts I will then possibly keep these anyway. However only if the seller gives me at least a 20% discount on 20 more.
I really want to build two 24 volt packs for 48 - 44V so I can run that hub motor you sent me after I fix the broken spoke. It wont run on the SONA packs. I did get it to work with 3 SLAs in series but no longer own heavy SLAs.
Also I may only need to order 20 more of these if in fact they are around 2,000 mAh. Wall-Mart has 18650 cells in their solar lighting section. WESTINGHOUSE is the brand and rated at 2,000 mAh. $14.99 for 4 cells. Also there is a youtube video done for capacity on them and they passed the test. Right around 2,000 mAh.

I also got about $40 invested in the VRUZEND kit so am already kicking myself in the ass for not simply ordering two 10.0 - 6S Multistars but I am stubbern and was curious about 18650 cells as DA is always building packs. I am one of those guys who think "well if he can do it then I should be able to also" Thanks.
LC out.
I should have a number in an hour or so. Hopefully at least 2,000 mAh. If closer to 1,500 mAh I will most likley return them.

last night around this time I took a hammer to a moniter which would not work after hooking up to four desktops and now feel like doing the same to my Skycharger. It stoped at 120 minutes and can;t figure out how to reset it for 240 minutes. I have to find the owners manual and figure it out. It has been set at 120 minutes since I started charging LiPo.
The voltage was around 3.7 volts and capacity over 900 mAh. Now I will have to recharge the cell and start over if I ever figure out how to set the charger to 240 minutes.

OK. I reset it to 240 minutes and we are back on charge. My guess is between 1,500 and 2,000 mAh. If the voltage is above 3.0 and close to 2,000 mAh I will pull the plug. I really hope I dont have to return these. I would rather spend $15 at Wall-Mart and at least get one pack togeather. I need to speak to the seller. I need faster shipping. Sick of waiting all the time. Projects get frustrating when they take forever.
