Well according to some emails I made to A123 Systems, A123RC is NOT an official distributor of A123 Systems and does NOT sell genuine A123 Systems products. According to A123 Systems, every so called A123 cells of any format sold to the public from online sources is either scrap cells or counterfeit cells.

Well if the cells I have seen perform in a couple forums are scrap or counterfeit, I say keep em coming. They do pretty darn good. IIRC I have seen in a Jack Rickards video someone who pulled close to 1000amps from a prismatic 20ah cell (surely a scrap or counterfeit one if you listen to A123 Systems) with the voltage staying well above 2V. I'll try to find it again, it was cool to watch.
