Voltaplex (China) currently stocks the 30Q6 150 LE1T at $5.51 USD per cell ... https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/UzrnFKIGcvWNk3pxiV9FAOuXLptGLOXkRtic4SwY7VI881wsWs_wg8R3JKbeg-nVJYMHw_gZes5hycLV5cZdq1UFiE9RViHHorrpa0hnoF76Yloa4cU_zQOJ1qMnNk-A3BB0ILGxh_WQwLe3-bKrwsWL=s0-d-e1-ft#https://support-79a409ba2b1b.intercom-mail.com/i/o/427836521/b19a66b856a6ed5bd763e5ff/image.png

The problem seems to be that a shipment by either of the above must be of significant quantity. Apparently it's not worth their effort to ship a small quantity to an individual DIY builder. Since recently informing both of these Chinese suppliers that i only need somewhere between 30-50 i haven't heard back from either supplier. Eva Guo wouldn't even quote me a cell price. From the second EVA photo the smallest quantity for purchase looks to be 200 of the 30Q6 150 LK2T. Likely the same minimum quantity of 200 with Voltaplex.

Apparently Aliexpress doesn't yet carry this "new improved" 30Q6 150 T made in China.

Here is the link to a Samsung (confidential) 14 page Data Sheet on the "new improved" 30Q6 comparing it to the previous 30Q coded cells (136, 138, 141 ?) ... https://www.docdroid.net/SCcWqDZ/introduction-of-30q6-comparison-20191216-pdf (copied from a post on BudgetLightForum.com) ... https://budgetlightforum.com/node/73361 (#25 posted on 7/04/20).

NKON (EU) replied on 11.30.21 -- "Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000mAh - 15A we receive in 38 days back in stock." However, they won't know for certain what 30Q code (141 or 6T) they'll be receivng until arrival.

The current 30Q USA price at $8.99 each (BatteryStore) will not encourage buyers having been previously disappionted by questionable or inferior performance of "136", "138" and "141" coded cells.
 
I just got bak 18650 25amp 2,500 mah cell for $2.45
each. I'm making them in a 14s 8p vendaz kit. The Price is Right and I've never used this cell before.

What is a "vendaz kit" ... not for certain if your post is just or jest ... me thinks it's just jest, but wouldn't be the first time i've been wrong over my 77 years ... :wink:

Are you old enuf to remember your first little Made In Japan transistor radio? You could hold it in your hand or put it in your shirt pocket. My genius cousin and i hooked up an Oldsmobile 6x9 dual coil speaker we'd retrieved for pennies from a junk yard. With a little soldering plugged it into the mini-jack headset output. The sound was a significant improvement listening to "Rockin Robin" by Bobby Day, "Splish Spash" by Bobby Darin, and other 1958 hits. Only problem is the little batteries didn't last very long :(

Those little Sony transistor AM radios reminds me of a toe tapping tune when way back when i was near the age of Sonny French in this "Made In Japan" country song ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llzw-MSJ7n0
 
If i were building even just a 12S5P (60 cells) using 18650 cells in a N.E.S.E kit i'd probably take my chances and go with Voltaplex "30Q6 150 LE1T" at $5.51 per cell ... https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/UzrnFKIGcvWNk3pxiV9FAOuXLptGLOXkRtic4SwY7VI881wsWs_wg8R3JKbeg-nVJYMHw_gZes5hycLV5cZdq1UFiE9RViHHorrpa0hnoF76Yloa4cU_zQOJ1qMnNk-A3BB0ILGxh_WQwLe3-bKrwsWL=s0-d-e1-ft#https://support-79a409ba2b1b.intercom-mail.com/i/o/427836521/b19a66b856a6ed5bd763e5ff/image.png ... if shipping was free. Also see your logic using a [cheap?] $2.45 18650 cell with that NESE kit to see if youre satisfied that you got your monies worth after it's all said and done.

60 cells (12S5P) at $5.51 = $331 (Margie at Voltaplex is checking on what total cost would be for either 30 or 50 of the "150" cell)
112 cells (14S8P) at $2.45 = $275 (time will tell if it was a good bargain)

Apparently only Samsung 30Q6T ""Made In China** have "150" printed on the pink 30Q6 label. If the 30Q6T is affectively a new improved 30Q6 cell (according to 14 page Data Sheet) than previous "current" available 30Q cells (136, 138, 141) than the 30Q6 "150" T (Made In China) should be just as good as VTC6 ... FWIW.

It's not like Samsung hasn't had enough time since 2014 with 136, then 138, and then 141 to now have finally come up with a 30Q "6 150 T" cell Made In China hopefully having mitigated its preponderance for **unacceptable** self-discharge whether for "Raw Performance" use or "Casual Cruising" use.
 
This Samsung 30Q(6) 150 ___T) 18650 cell (Made In China) is also available from Batemo GmbH in Karlsruhe, Germany. Cell Origin reads ... "purchased on the free market".

Their rated continuous amperage of the 30Q(6) is 12.1 amps continuous and 20.3 amps peak ... https://www.batemo.de/products/batemo-cell-library/inr18650-30q6/

Battery Bro is apparently the only US distributor when contacting Voltaplex (Hong Kong) for info on purchasing the 30Q6T. Margie at Battery Bro still had thirty-five 30Q6 150 LE1T cells at $5.51 USD per cell as recently as last week.

Currently the only USA Team for supplying newest 3Q6 150 ___T (via Voltaplex) is Battery Bro (American team in Hong Kong).

Margie with Battery Bro (USA Team in Hong Kong) ... https://batterybro.com/collections/18650-battery ... was very helpful. As of 2 weeks ago they had inventory of at least 35 -- 30Q6 150 LE1T Samsung cells (Made In China). Current price $5.51 ea. Just wasn't able to find out how long it would take to receive 35 of these newest "improved" 30Q6 150 ___T cells, so decided not to place an order via Margie ...
