Sadly this guy scammed me and several others. It's been 3 months. He's responded to texts a month ago saying he'd ship out, but nothing. No response in 20 texts. I'm trying to gather information from people that have also been scammed so we can file a police report together, as he admitted...

Just an FYI this guy scammed me. Payed in late December and nothing. He's told me 3 times that he's gotten COVID pneumonia. It's been nothing but excuses. He texted back a couple times saying he'd make everything right and send me extra cells also asked if I wanted a refund. I responded saying I...

I'm pretty sure they are 18650 LiFePo4's.

I did the test a couple years ago. It was either 5 or 10 minutes. Certainly long enough to heat soak the material. Keep in mind that real world results will vary a little. This testing was done with the nickel in "open air" on both sides.

You will be just fine. Likely your nickel will be <10C above ambient temperatures at that current.

Yes, I've done testing:

Is this the same company that was selling Leaf modules that only had ~50% of original capacity? In general the industry deems anything in the 70-80% of original capacity range to be end of life (EOL). So you shouldn't buy anything like that. What capacity were the cells originally and what is...

When I have to glue cells together I use Quick Grip. It works great, highly recommended! Been using it for years. Part number 873388

The best way to soldier 18650's is not to solder them at all. Spot weld.

Black and Decker 36v/40v and Die Hard 40v packs are the same thing. At least the versions that look the same are the same. Ryobi and craftsman 4v packs (the 1x18650 ones) are the same.

~3.6v is very typical for new cells. They made SOC for shipping even more strict in the past couple of years I think its <30% SOC now.

VTC6 clones? Why are you buying clones?

"The power is coming off the battery terminals, I never said that the battery was being discharged. The DC-DC converter works most likely very similarly to the way a ICE car's alternator charges the battery powers accessories through the battery, but without cycling the battery." Is it that...
