280 V3 with the octagon terminal is good, but I haven't really followed the MB30/31 news.

I will like to wait for when the MB31 get tested by the community, but was afraid the LF280k V3 still has some problems, like some said. Thanks

Maybe I had it confuse with the other lf280, thanks for the suggestion.
Recent reports people have tested some 280kv3 at +300ah.
I’m sure you could still buy some duds if you’re shopping for the cheapest price.
I just ordered 12 280kv3 from Luyuan, price was $77 plus shipping which to my door brought it up to $95 a cell.
With issues of the first batches of 280ks back in 2022 I’m cautious on jumping on a new “design”.

I'm ordering from 18650batterystore, I did talk to Luyan rep, but they don't have this in the USA. Thanks
Hello, yes technologically the new model is perhaps more interesting. But manufacturers are always in a hurry to release a product to the market, and this rush leads to shortcomings in the quality of the product. Therefore, my choice is a proven technology model EVE LF280k.

I ordered 80 280k v3 cells from 18650 and I have tested 52 of them so far with ZKETECH 40 amp testers. I am charging to 3.5v and stopping at a tail current of 6.44 Amps then discharging to 2.5v (2 cycles recording the 2nd cycle )The lowest capacity is 301.4 AH and the highest is 309.3 AH , 37 of the 52 tested above 305 AH.

Don't be the Guinea pig, let others test and verify. Go with tried and true 280K V3 / 304 in the meantime
I'm off the road in Alaska so shipping is too much for me. However I noticed on AliExpress (I think) that someone here provided a link for (or maybe Offgrid Garage - don't remember) the MB31 (or was it 30?) would ship here according to the website for around $100 for 4 cells. I would need to inquire to make sure. But the 280's would not offer shipping.
