Back in April I ordered LifePo4 batteries thru AliExpress from PWOD Official Store. I posted about those batteries and am pretty happy with them.
The PWOD batteries were taking forever in shipping, so in June I ordered another set but this time from Morecell Battery Store.
I ordered 8 pcs 310ah grade A on June 6th and they showed up at my door today, yes 84 days! Below are pics of what I found so far.
I will say the packaging was really good but the battery cases have slight blems like they were not handles with kit gloves like the batteries from PWOD appear to be.
The worse battery might have a 1mm bulge on one side only. I will be putting both set I have in compression with a layer of close cell foam between them so I am not worried. All cells tested 3.28 vdc.
Tonight I will get this set on the charger and get them top balancing. I will then load test at least 2 and report back as soon as all that is done.

I connected all the cells in parallel and top balanced them. My power supply said 3.65 volts my multimeter says 3.63 volts.
What started out as a 1mm buldge per side increases to 2.5 mm per side when fully charged.
The load test was started with the cell voltage at 3.63 volts and shut off when it trigger the load tester which was set to 2.50 volts
Bulged or not I am happy with the results as show in the pic below.
I have a 2nd cell being tested right now and I will post a pic of the load cell when it is complete.

Sounds good, lets hope they keep supply good products.... and not start pushing bad ones once they get more orders.
 
The 2nd cell just finished the load test and I will say I am very pleased.
Once again the load test was started with the cell voltage at 3.63 volts and shut off when it trigger the load tester which was set to 2.50 volts.
