Hello everyone. My name is Aleksei, we are a new startup company called American Electric Solutions LLC, we specialize in refurbishing and destribution of unused Li-Ion battery packs and cells from various suppliers.

This listing is for refurbished and unused LG MH1 18650 cell. We extract them from unused battery packs that were in storage since 2021, so some capacity degradation is expected.

All spot weld marks have been removed, the cells are ready to be assembled in new battery packs.


All cells are tested for performance and capacity and we guarantee 95% capacity on all of them, otherwise you get either a replacement or a refund.
You are getting brand new quality & capacity, for the price of "used" cells which would normally have noticeably decreased capacity.



All orders of 40 cells and over will arrive in free hardened plastic honeycomb style cell holders for 40 cells, with threaded mounting holes and room for bms (see attached photo). These cell holders are free of charge to you, they are worth about $15 each.

Im interested in purchasing some of the cells to make a battery pack for my bike build. Are they still available and how do I go about purchasing them if so. I'm new to this forum so not sure how things are done exactly but heres my email vincent.brian.2536@gmail.com and I'm Brian Vincent thank you for your time.

ISNT this illegal? USPS will NOT allow that, nope, no way no how. Hell no you cannot ship lithium through Priority mail.

Not the best way to start a business, shipping illegally and putting people art risk for your profits.


349 Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials
(Hazard Class 9)
349.1 Definition

A miscellaneous hazardous material is a substance or article that presents a hazard during transportation, but does not meet the definition of any other hazard class. Examples of miscellaneous hazardous materials (not all of which are mailable) include solid dry ice, lithium batteries, magnetized materials, elevated temperature substances, environmentally hazardous substances, life-saving appliances (i.e., automobile air–bags, self-inflating life vests), and asbestos. Miscellaneous hazardous materials include:

Any material that has an anesthetic, noxious, or other similar property that could cause extreme annoyance or discomfort to a flight crew member.
Any elevated temperature material, hazardous substance, hazardous waste (other than Division 6.2 medical waste), or marine pollutant.

349.11 Lithium Battery — Classifications:

Lithium-ion cell or battery means a rechargeable electrochemical cell or battery in which the positive and negative electrodes are both lithium compounds constructed with no metallic lithium in either electrode. These batteries are also referred to as secondary or rechargeable lithium cells or batteries, and are typically used in cell phones and laptop computers.
Lithium-ion polymer cell or battery means a rechargeable cell or battery that uses lithium-ion chemistries and is regulated as a lithium-ion cell or battery.
Lithium metal cell or battery means an electrochemical cell or battery utilizing lithium metal or lithium alloys as the anode. The lithium content of a lithium metal or lithium alloy cell or battery is measured when the cell or battery is in an undischarged state. The lithium content of a lithium metal or lithium alloy battery is the sum of the grams of lithium content contained in the component cells of the battery. These batteries are also referred to as primary or nonrechargeable lithium cells or batteries, and are often used in consumer products such as cameras and flashlights.
Button cell battery means a small single cell round battery with the overall height less than the diameter. Button cells are used to power small portable electronic devices such as wrist watches, pocket calculators, and hearing aids, and are often installed in electronic devices as auxiliary power sources. For the purposes of mailability as button cell batteries, lithium metal batteries must contain no more than 0.3 gram of lithium content and lithium-ion batteries must be 2.7 watt-hours or less.
Lithium cell means a single encased electrochemical unit with a single positive electrode (anode) and single negative electrode (cathode), which exhibits a voltage differential across its terminals. For the purpose of mailability, marking, and documentation requirements, a single cell lithium battery is classified as a lithium cell.
Lithium battery means one or more lithium cells which are electrically connected together by a permanent means, including case, terminals, and markings.

349.12 Lithium Battery — Definitions

Equipment means the device or apparatus for which the lithium cells or batteries will provide electrical power for its operation.
Lithium battery consignment means one or more mailpieces containing lithium batteries, entered into USPS networks by one mailer or mail service provider within a single mailing or retail transaction, or included in the same manifest or shipping services file, and intended for delivery to a single consignee at a single destination address.
Short circuit means a direct connection between positive and negative terminals of a cell or battery that provides an abnormally low resistance path for current flow.
Watt-hour (Wh) means a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of work acting for one hour (1 h) of time. The watt-hour rating of a lithium-ion cell or battery is determined by multiplying the rated capacity of a cell or battery in ampere-hours, by its nominal voltage. Therefore, watt-hour (Wh) = ampere-hour (Ah) x volts (V).

349.2 Mailability

International Mail. All miscellaneous hazardous materials are prohibited, except for certain magnetized materials as permitted in 349.242a and IMM 136.1g, and small consumer-type lithium batteries (installed in the equipment they operate) as permitted in 622.5 and IMM 135.6.
Domestic Mail. A miscellaneous hazardous material that can qualify as a mailable air-eligible consumer commodity material (ID8000) when intended for air transportation, or limited quantity surface material when intended for surface transportation, is permitted in domestic mail, subject to the applicable 49 CFR requirements. Only certain materials within Classes 2, 3, 6.1, and 9 are mailable by air transportation; mailpieces including eligible quantities of these materials must be marked with the proper shipping name “Consumer Commodity.” Additionally, lithium batteries, dry ice, and magnetized materials are permitted within the specified limits provided in 349.221, 349.222, 349.23, and 349.24.

349.21 Nonmailable Class 9 Materials

The following materials are prohibited:

All Class 9 materials that cannot qualify as a Limited Quantity air or Limited Quantity ground material, except for lithium batteries, dry ice, and magnetized materials.
All magnetized materials that have a measurable magnetic field strength greater than 0.00525 gauss at 15 feet.
For air transportation, all magnetized materials that can cause a compass deviation at a distance of 7 feet or more.
In domestic mail via air transportation, dry ice in quantities exceeding 5 pounds per mailpiece.
All lithium batteries in international mail, unless they are within the specified limits and only when properly installed in the equipment they operate.
All lithium batteries in domestic air transportation, unless they are within the specified limits and only when properly installed in, or packed with, the equipment they are intended to operate.

So which battery seller ships legally following all regulations!?

But I agree USPS is really the worst idea!

Me.

.. and anyoone else whom does not want to danger people or break laws. Most reputable sellers. Hey I tried, thought about shipping willy nilly... but since I saw what happened with Jehu Garcia ( shipping things that caught fire, in boxes with the ( real) shipping warnings spraypainted over) I decided it was a trash ideal... just break rules for money. . Dont lke it. Aint gonna do it. I now have hooked up with the owner or LIONWHOLESALE.COM and he ships anything for me if I package and label it right, on his account. He is a great guy. A real down to earth businessman.
