So heres the story. I purchased 270 LG HG2 cells from Alibaba (i realise it's probably not a great idea to buy cells from Alibaba). after the cells arrived roughly 2 weeks later i have tested 4 so far and even after fully discharging the cells twice and then charging them all the way up to 4.2volts the highest capacity i have gotten from one of the cells so far is 2480Mah, considering the LG HG2's are rated for 3000Mah this seems pretty poor to me. I feel like its worth mentioning i'm charging the cells with a genuine Imax b6ac charger, I first tried charging the cells in the LI-ION mode on the charger but it would only charge the cells to 4.1v, so i changed the charger mode to LI-PO and its now charging the cells to 4.2v, yet even when charging the cells to 4.2v the highest Mah i have gotten as i said before was 2480. I would also like to say that as far as i can tell the cells are completely genuine. I have seen that the fake cells usually have sloppy folding and cutting on the button top of the cell, yet these cells seem fine. and the wrapping looks to be very clean to, What do you guys thing?, are they real HG2 cells that have just been stored really wrong, or could they be re wrapped cheaper cells or he4's, am i charging them wrong somehow?, thanks
Also heres some photos of the cells and charging:
