- butvacuum 11mo agoLooks like it was half written. But, step #1 is pull up it's spec sheet and replicate their capacity testing method. At least for single cells. For packs there's not much you can do but buy from trusted places- manufacturer, bhphoto (for cameras). 18650batterystore has always been good to me, at least for the 300 Samsung 25R's I bought.
- BandButcher 11mo agoyea they note nothing can be verified visually but one option is to verify the part/mfg #, “For most of these products, they are sold with part numbers that show an equivalency to a manufacturer’s part number." Doubt i'd do that, would probably just source from name brands.
