$3.5 shipped Gearbest Samsung 18650-25R5 battery found legit

well now they can make their own batteries with the giga factory! I wonder if they’re going to sell their cells in wholesale.

Haha I don’t think they will have any left. Over half a billion per order of the model 3… Insane.

We could group buy a TESLA battery then and disassemble it :joy:

Tesla does not use cells suitable for esk8 - They have large parallelly connected packs that result in a sufficient discharge rate. In esk8 you only have like 3P to 6P so higher discharge cells are necessary.

What do you mean with “per order” and a billion of what?

even if they’re 10a discharge it could be suitable with larger packs. I wonder if they’re discharge rate is less than that

sure with larger it is fine - but as most people are only using 3 to 4P the general consensus should be: get higher discharge rated cells

I have Tesla Cells in my 10s 4P pack now …from Okashira. … work great!

What would be the price for the HG2 cells??

just not as long as your pack could if it was done with “better” cells - ask @chaka about using low discharge cells in just a 4P configuration

I agree but we will see ?, for now getting over 40 km range with them and up to 50 km/h.

:astonished:

yes 6364-245kv

What is Okashira and how did you obtain those cells? Also at what price?
