EVE 280AH cells fast shipping and great price!

Josh Gibson · Mar 28, 2022

I wanted to share a great resource for EVE cells coming out of a southeast US warehouse. 18650batterystore.com. This company is out of Atlanta, GA and I received the batteries in 3 days! I ordered 12 cells and each box was packaged very well. Please excuse the terrible wiring in the picture, I was equalizing and bringing up the SOC as a group. I know they aren't compressed and I'm not charging them to 100% in case anyone wonders. The terminals are very nice, 10mm nut on all thread. Check it out:

I attached the datasheet also.

Cool. Good to know. The more US warehouse stock the better.

HRTKD · Mar 28, 2022

Keep us up to date on how those terminals work out. I would like to see some long term results. They're certainly different. They have to be better than the dinky terminals without much surface contact area.

timselectric · Mar 28, 2022

That's a good price. And I love those terminals.

WOW! 10 mm terminals, I am impressed. still not as cheap as Amy or Jenny though. plus Jenny is as hot as a firecracker quoting a price of 147 each.

Dual 10 mm terminals, per post.
This makes for a great no heat connection.

It is annoying that they won't disclose shipping costs until you have entered your order.
Can you share your shipping cost?

My thoughts exactly!

Not wanting to give them my email, phone number, address, and CC info only to get a shipping quote, I just called their sales department and asked for a shipping quote for 16 of these batteries. I was told to go online and use their calculator as prices are different for each location and shipping provider. Clearly they are not making this an initially pleasant experience!!!

I just entered some BS with a local (CT) address for the 16 cells:

FedEx Ground®
2 business days$123.29

UPS® Ground$160.00

UPS 2nd Day Air®
2 business days$339.84

UPS Next Day Air Saver®
1 business day$666.26

A significant premium/cell shipped over the TX supplier, and a lot more over the slow boat from China.

For 4 cells or 16? My quote was for 16.

Let's not confuse the 10mm socket needed for the nut for a 10mm stud folks... Those looks like standard 6mm studs to me.

Good catch, I believe that you are correct.
But still, two is better than one.

100% better, literally! Never mind if/when that "Oh Sh!t!!!" moment happens and you realize one of the standard single post terminals suddenly strips on you... having that second post is now a lifeline!

It's different, but I like the design of this much better. That single post contact area has almost always been a problem. I can't see how this doesn't improve the contact patch/resistance at the terminal to busbar connection. I wouldn't be surprised to see this become the new norm...

Aaah nice, I posted a thread about the deal being offered on these cells without seeing this post. Thanks for the info on shipping! Those look great.

I believe these terminals are the factory welded from eve.

That's what I was told as well.

I ordered a set of 16, they were at my door in two days. Appeared unopened as from the factory, very well packed. I only inspected a few of the cells, but they looked excellent. Very reasonable price, great service and shipping, and solid looking product... I've had a very good experience with 18650BS so far and I have no doubt they would take care of any issues if something came up.

Also, the studs are in fact M6 (2 per terminal).

timselectric · Apr 7, 2022

These cells, and a seller in the states. Are making me seriously interested in building my own battery bank. If, he can get the 304 cells, I don't think that I could resist doing it.

Someone can confirm me if this is legit?

Yeah, they warned me that a price increase would be coming. They've been trying to keep pricing in check but seems it's on the rise everywhere unfortunately.
