A123 cells galore..

[What's_nitro?]

Yeah I bought a set. I could tell from his original pics that they were battery take-outs (you could see where tabs were welded on before). I finished tinning all 12 cells yesterday. I have yet to charge/run them.

What are you running them in?

Just worried that they might be rejects, like packs that didn't past factory tests or something.

Ask zeropoint the difference....

We want to upgrade the cells in our 30 lbs combat robot to A123 cells at some point. Perhaps even our 120 lbs if we can fit it into our budget. We've destroyed batteries in the arena before and the charge rate will be awesome to top them off inbetween matches.

I've used LOTS of this stuff, but I use it 2 rows at a time (two pieces for each end of a cell). Has worked great!

Looks like solder wick

The seller says they're brand new. It's probably old stock, but we all know they last forever on the shelf.

Have you tested your cells yet? I would like to get 4 sets of these for my lawnmower. Let me know how they perform.

BTW, in the eBay pic, the front M1 cell is actually an OLD M1 cell (notice the thinner darker blue line), like not from a Dewalt pack, but from the developer kits, I would know because I bought a developer kit the first week they were available (3 years ago)... actually still have those cells too in 5s1p packs, still perform as good as new too, go figure.
