At the consumer level, lower capacity batteries are now generally sold via higher capacity marketing.
The world is flooded with 18650 size cells that are marketed at 2500+ mAh but measure 500 mAh.
Certainly the higher profit margin on the consumer side must help the other less corrupt sectors.
- jacquesm 5y agoPlenty of them are labelled correctly and deliver as advertised. ~3400 mAh products are readily available from Samsung, Sanyo, Sony and LG. The best way to ensure you get quality product is to buy from a reputed middle-man, unless you plan to buy 100's of thousands of cells, then it will definitely be possible to go direct.
- zionic 5y agomaybe this is true for vape pens, but this is certainly not the case in the home energy storage sector.
- VLM 5y agoYes, that was exactly my point, that selling "2500" cells using "500" parts must be extremely profitable in the consumer sector, possibly in some sense funding the home energy storage sector.
