Got mine just a few days shy of two months back in February, but things are worse now. The backups to unload at the Port of Los Angeles are insane.Has anyone ordered from "liitokala Official Store" in the US? If so, what was the shipping time?
I ordered qty4 100AH cells 6 weeks ago and was curious how much longer I might have to wait.
Thank you
Credit card companies are pretty good about dealing with Alibaba and Aliexpress. Even if using PayPal, always select a credit card (debit cards have less legally required protection). Most banks that issue debit cards will voluntarily provide protection equal to a credit card, but are not legally required to. Never use a bank account linked in PayPal, pretty much everything protection wise is voluntary there. Obviously different when dealing with a local vendor, should not be a problem using a bank account linked PayPal there.I ordered 4x 280Ah cells back on February 25th and have nothing yet. Sounds like SNAFU for this vendor, hope they shipped it. I'm sure USAA will be great about giving me my money back. Why in the world are we not making these things over here? We need to bring this type of production back here. Even the Battleborns are made with Chinese cells, sadly.
Because we are promoting the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.Why in the world are we not making these things over here?
They changed their page, but last week it had a "Ships From" option of either China or United States. I chose US.I don't think there is a Liitokala store in the US. My order seems to have hit FedEx today after exactly 60 days from order.
Why? Can you elaborate? Are you saying this because they show 271Ah vs the 280Ah advertised, or is there something else wrong with these CATL cells? LiitoKala will accept returns but I'd have to pay for return shipping, so unless these are duds why would I pay hundreds of dollars to ship this stuff back?get all ur money back pls
my mistake, I thought your pictures display dented cells, inspect them, if you are happy and move on, if you did not get what you paid for, dispute with CC.Why? Can you elaborate?

As best I can tell LiitoKala is a reseller (VAR) not a manufacturer. They don't manufacture any of the large 3.2V prismatic cells. If I'm wrong I hope someone from LiitoKala will reply to this thread. But I'm not surprised at all to see these are re-labeled.
I'm still top-balancing, but if they cycle at 271Ah instead of 280Ah, for my purpose they're fine. I may complain to the vendor and ask for a credit, but TBH I would have paid the same $ for 271Ah cells as these will go into an RV where they rarely get cycled more than 20-30%. That said my load tester is only 5A so quite likely at such a low C rate these may test at 280Ah or more even if they are only capable of 271Ah at 0.5C.
