Anyone knows a good dealer for this cells? I know lot of people sells it in eBay or even Aliexpress, but not sure about the quality of those cells.

I am located in Spain.

Thanks for helping.

Hi!, as you know I don't have enough experience with LiFePo4 suppliers to make a tip, but I just found this another ones,

reasonable cost with free shipping at any quantity, described as made in USA.

Well, I think the decode you posted is not right. My actual cells from 2013 start with VOJ15...

However, I have messaged to the seller in that store. He replied inmediatly that they will receive new cells on Monday, they will send me the photos of them and they are 2015 cells for sure. I will come with news after I get the photos.

I've found the cheapest cells in Aliexpress (i think), but it must be in 20 cells packs:
http://es.aliexpress.com/store/prod...P72161227-battery-cells/401852_709858939.html

It includes UPS express shippings at 29$ per cell. Even including taxes, it is the cheapest i have found.

Anyone have tried this seller? Has a 100% positive feedback, it may be worth to try...

I contacted the previous seller. They are out of stock at the moment, and told me they have not date for new arrivals on the A123 cells.

I have been talking with another seller, who told me they were out of stock till yesterday. Posted some photos of the new cells, with a "Made in Korea" text in them, also more expensive than the previous seller:

Is it possible that they are manufacturing them in Korea? I never heard of a factory in Korea from A123...

 

[Nobuo]

It is a little like a lottery, to fake that is extremely easy. But maybe they are real korean LFP, do a research of those codes and maybe you can find some real sources.

It doesn't look bad, at least that shop only sell batteries, not mixed with random clothes or funny stuff :lol:
