[DRZ400]

So I ordered 56, A123 20ah cells last Thursday from Xin at victpower. Arrived today! Did a quick voltage test, all at 3.28 volts. $24 per cell delivered by DHL express. Going to do a 2C capacity sort and test with my CBA-III.

Nice price! Per AH, that's a little under what I paid for 40Ah LiFePO4s. Can't wait to see how this all works out - or where you put them.

[DRZ400]

Yeah I paid $52 plus shipping for my Calb's.....which are still going strong.

Nice deal it's really the way to go. So far from what I've read everyone been happy with the cells from victpower. Whats your plan for interconnecting the tabs?

[DRZ400]

Probably punch 2 holes and use bolts. That or tin & solder.

[DaveAK]

That's a great price. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with them.

Sounds soooo cool So what are your hopes for your new pack? And are you going to have to change anything else to go to these new type?

just saw this:

you might want to do up a test rig, or at least call to verify your cells were not part of that batch

and it sounds like you got your cells pretty quickly, were they shipped from the US? is victpower just Chinese middleman?

[DRZ400]

From Hong Kong....Victpower is some kind of re-seller. No one really knows why theres now a surplus of these cells....rumor is they were destined for a delayed car...Fisker? They are real 22c lifepo4s. I just did a 2C run and got 19.2 AH
