Hey Folks.. Just starting to learn. I was trained as a Electronic Tech some years back so no completely stupid. I DIY much of everything and love to learn. A few questions..
For us Canadian Folks ordering from Aliexpress. What can I expect Duty/Brokerage/Tax wise? I am looking at assorted 3.2V and pondering a few different capacities for a few different build ideas. I see some cheap 320AH cells for around $50 each. Free shipping With either DHL(2 weeks), EMS (3 weeks) or Sellers Shipping Method (11 weeks). What can I expect to pay at my door for the deliver for each? For reference sake I am Southern Ontario East of the GTA.
The extension of this. Whats my risk in ordering these dirt cheap cells? Bloated, under capacity? At that price even 20% under capacity I am not to worried about. Is bloating a serious issue other then cosmetic? Sure the cells might now work but I doubt I will have any issue getting my money back. Is there a fire risk with these cells?
Looking forward to you input and much thanks!
Mike
