A123 on ebay. All fake?

[CroDriver]

I'm planing to build a battery pack for my car using A123 cells. There are a lots of them on ebay but I have read that the most of them are Chinese fakes.

Now, there are some new, green cells but the adds look the same like some others with fake cells.

Is there any supplier who sells original A123 cells for a reasonable price?

they are not fake. They are used cells from tool packs. they will no longer do the full 70A as is in the specs. mine do 30 amps before the voltage sags.

i think i used poor cell connections though (stainles steel) and lose mili-volts across them. maybe its possible for these cels to perform better with proper copper bars.
