[SOLD] Open box, Uncycled Samsung INR18650 32E Cells

[spencerpaw]

Cells were packed into Ninebot battery packs that never got used. They were incredibly difficult to extract; I really commend whoever designed this pack. From start to finish, removing these cells from one pack took about 4 hours. That being considered, some cell wrappers sustained damage from the extraction. Please see photos for examples. I've removed all of the potting material aside from a little around the terminals, and 95% of the nickel on the terminals has been removed. No terminals have been sanded.





(additional photos attached)

These are essentially new cells aside from having been spot welded and the wrapping imperfections. A batch of these will be graded (true capacity test, discharge test) by an Xtar VC8 Plus overnight, and I will include photos of the results in the morning.

Update: first 4 cells tested at 3146, 3069, 3121, and 3086 mah. This is just slightly lower than expected, which could be the result of the cells having been in storage. Rated minimum capacity for this model is 3100 mah. The same cells are in the process of recharging to begin a second discharge test.

note: mah value is final, but the cells shown are in the process of recharging after the discharge test (voltage values shown are not fully charged cells).

Update 2: same 4 cells retested higher.

note: mah value is final, but the cells shown are in the process of recharging after the discharge test (voltage values shown are not fully charged cells).

Update: I have removed all cells with wrapper damage near the positive terminal, as well as any cells with a wrapper tear larger than a few millimeters in diameter and cells with multiple wrapper tears. The terminals have been further cleaned up. This leaves 250 cells in great condition, all so far have tested over 96% capacity (based on nominal cap), or 99% if based on the cell's rated minimum capacity of 3100 mah.

Asking $1.75 per cell, all in very good condition. Photo of representative set of cells included. Functionally, these are essentially new.

Additional cap test included, note that the far left cell is an example of one that has been pulled from the "for sale" group, as the wrapper damage was too significant.
