Batteryhookup Samsung 6kwh Module - what am I missing?
Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2023 6:20 pm
Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the right section. I'm looking for batteries suitable for my EV conversion that I can ship to my home country. This is very hard - EV salvage seem to be no go. This listing on Batteryhookup looks like a good prospect -
1. Cheap
2. Good quality cells
3. Rated to 3C
4. Packaged as an actual product (I believe they were originally intended as stackable UPS modules) so I can actually put an import code on my customs document
https://batteryhookup.com/products/sams ... 8s-modules
What am I missing? Why are they so cheap? In my googling all I can find on the Samsung SDI cells is in this PDF.

Given the stated voltages and capacities I think they probably contain the model M2967 modules (page 5 of the Samsun PDF). If so, these were probably manufactured in 2016, but never cycled. Could that be the issue? Will these cells suddenly lose capacity because of sheer age?
Help me out here - I'm going to spend a lot of money buying these and want to know I've done my due diligence.
