Dependable Review by Fu$ion

Running a 1500W bike at 26Amps on a 14S 5P battery.
33-35MPH

I have built 3 Batteries with these cells, best value considering the price jump if I move to 3000mAH or more. (Posted on 16-11-20)

Excellent product! Review by Orfeas

Although it's 'Rank C' (Not the best quality batch), I ordered 188 of them and there were no faults. All of them in perfect condition! Charging them on my specialized charger proves they are of the claimed capacity. Also, delivery to UK within 2 working days is just the best! Thank you very much for this! (Posted on 30-06-20)

Хотелось бы по свежее Review by Valerii

Впервые для себя заказал аккумуляторы PANASONIC NCR18650PF. Доставка в Украину за 2 недели. Первое, что немного огорчило, так это то, что аккумуляторы пришли с датой производства февраль 2018г. Дата конечно не очень свежая, поэтому при разряде-зарядке аккумуляторов током в 1А до 2900мАч не дотянул ни один аккумулятор. Среднее значение 2800-2830мАч.
-----------------------------
For the first time I ordered PANASONIC NCR18650PF batteries for myself. Delivery to Ukraine in 2 weeks. The first thing that upset me a bit was that the batteries came with a production date of February 2018. The date, of course, is not very fresh, so when discharging and charging batteries with a current of 1A up to 2900mAh, not a single battery lasted. The average value is 2800-2830mAh.

Ожидал большего Review by Vasilii

Купил 50 штук для изготовления батареи 10S5P 36В для своего электрического велосипеда. Понимаю, что пробег зависит от многих условий, но у меня 4 батареи одинакового типа из банок разных производителей и можно их сравнить в деле. С батареей из этих аккумуляторов пробег составляет около 25 км при условии помощи педалированием и скорости 30-35 км/ч. Для сравнения, аналогичная батарея из банок Sanyo NCR18650GA, купленных на NKON, даёт пробег около 35 км. Аккумуляторы BG INR18650-26R 2600 дают аналогичный пробег при меньшей заявленной ёмкости. При сильной нагрузке есть тенденция к проседанию напряжения, но в диапазоне около 4.0В работают стабильно. BMS отключает их при напряжении 3,5В. В целом за такие деньги бюджетный вариант.
---------------------------------
I bought 50 pieces to make a 10S5P 36V battery for my electric bike. I understand that the mileage depends on many conditions, but I have 4 batteries of the same type from cans of different manufacturers and can be compared in practice. With a battery of these batteries, mileage is about 25 km, provided that pedaling and a speed of 30-35 km / h are achieved. For comparison, a similar battery of Sanyo NCR18650GA cans purchased on NKON gives a range of about 35 km. The BG INR18650-26R 2600 accumulators give similar run with the lower declared capacity. Under heavy load, there is a tendency to subsidence, but in the range of about 4.0V they work stably. BMS disconnects them at a voltage of 3.5V. In general, for such money, a budget option.

Angelo Review by Angelo Baete

Ordered +- 230 batteries and just as previous comment 2756 - 2830 mah most of them. Good price/value for this battery.

Discharge test at 10 amps made it pretty hot. 12-15 amps also possible. But i recommend 4 amps.

Charge test with regular lithium chargers did pretty well. None failed or broken. (Posted on 24-01-20)

looks like used. Review by televista

Since genuine Panasonic batteries are smooth from the top, these have markings from spot weldings, so my guess is that they propably are genuine but recycled, so they are taken out from an another system and sold cheap 2nd hand. Thats one reason why you see so much of fluctuations on their capacity or much lower than should. Real Panasonic cells can be charged +2k cycles and still they show reasonable capacity left. So cells can be sold 2nd time since there might still be left lot of capacity.
You can buy from eBay those green Panasonic cell covers so once damaged cells can be made look shiny new once the wrapping is renewed.
Since there is so much of rumours about the genuinity of the batteries, these sellers should be open about it and tell the truth. Untill then, buyers be aware ! (Posted on 19-01-20)

Okay Review by Paul

They do get a bit warm with sustained current draw no where near max. I think the 10a rating is absolute max and cell would probably be extremely hot. At about 7A they seem to work ok just warm. (Posted on 16-12-19)

Great battery for a good price point Review by Shoppinguin

Rating

Bought 150 pieces in two orders and sample tested for consistency. Even though the batches were of different age (about 3-5 months apart) the samples tested very consistent around 2850-3000mAh @1A CC charge/discharge. Even out of the box, the voltages very pretty much the same at around 3.45 - 3.55V. I used the cells to refurbish 3 electric bicycle batteries which had pouch type LiPos before and it all worked out very well. Even after a dozen cycles, there is no noteworthy drift. I've seen far worse on much more expensive cells. Spot welding works excellent. For the low price, these sure can't be beat. I'd definitely buy again! (Posted on 27-04-18)

Superb! Review by udo S. from Ostholstein

Rating

Bought 50 cells for Bike-Battery, worked well.
Bad BMS discharged whole pack during Wintertime down to 0.5 Volts per cell.
Wanted to put the Cells to the waste-bin, but tried to recharge one Cell (outside, would they explode???). Could be charged to 4.2 Volts. Put the Cell into a cheap AH-Tester with 0.5 Amps: it showed 3000 mAh!!! Tried it with all 50 cells: All of them are Working, no heating during Charging (typical for old cells...)
Amazing! (Posted on 20-04-18)

for russian: Купил 30 штук данных аккумуляторов для сборки двух батарей формата 3S5P, для питания эхолотов Lowrance, свинцовые батареи не хочу больше применять. Емкость 2900 выбирал по цене (3400 оказываются дороже), емкость по измерения реальная, аккумуляторы произведены в январе 2017. Доставка почтой Германии 2 недели (фантастика!!!).

Bought 30 pieces of these batteries to build two batteries of format 3S5P,
to power the Lowrance fish finders, lead batteries no longer want to use.
Capacity 2900 chose the price (3400 be more expensive), the capacity of the measurement, the battery was made in January 2017. Delivery by mail Germany 2 weeks (fantastic!!!).
