Well warn all you like, thread drift is not against the forum rules.
Well well well, didn't I tell you all, you better wait for these new cells to establish some cred before buying
Did you notice the 4 star review by Richard K.? He stated that one of his lugs fell off.Looks like 18650 store finally looked at their reviews .....the review about the terminal breaking off is gone.

Can I ask what torque setting you are using? Thankshow are you guys snapping the double termanals off. I have been putting them togeather and taking them apart for a year now and no issues, but I use a torque wrench to tighten them to the proper amount if that makes a difference. I spicificly wanted these termanals for the larger contact areas.
On my Winston cells I am using 30 ft pounds of torque they are 14mm x 1.75 thread for the people worrying about how much torque to apply BUY BETTER CELLSCan I ask what torque setting you are using? Thanks
53in-lbs which is what eve says to use in the data sheet.Can I ask what torque setting you are using? Thanks
30 foot lbs, are you serious? that's like a torque setting for a tie rod end hahaOn my Winston cells I am using 30 ft pounds of torque they are 14mm x 1.75 thread for the people worrying about how much torque to apply BUY BETTER CELLS
Yeah dont that on a regular non Winston cell.30 foot lbs, are you serious? that's like a torque setting for a tie rod end haha
14mm x 1.75 threads in aluminum... the copper side rates higher. buy junk, deal with junk.. your choice.30 foot lbs, are you serious? that's like a torque setting for a tie rod end haha
4Nm or 36 in lbs is all I ever use on Eve or CATL cells for threaded post, welded stud or double hole terminals. One 6mm bolt or nut on grub screw torqued to this exerts 800lbs of force. Buff both contact surfaces with Scotch bright (maroon pad) just enough to remove the oxides, gently blow off surface and taped holes using care to not direct air at pressure vents. Use a thin layer of No-Ox-Id A special grease on the contact surface. Note if it’s cold you may need to warm it up to spread. Absolutely no contamination on the contact surface like cat hair. Torque and check torque a few hours later and a few more times in the future.Can I ask what torque setting you are using? Thanks

My 16 EVE cells are usually warmer than anywhere else - cat would love sleeping thereOh, without the hair still attached to the cat of course.
Actually it’s measurable, I don’t remember the value. I always use an internal resistance meter from terminal to terminal when I build. One was off from the others so I removed it and looked closely there were a couple of orange hairs attached that were extending from the edge of the buss. I cleaned it off and scraped out the top layer of the antioxidant grease before using it again. Now I’m a bit OCD and kinda have a clean operating theatre when connecting cells. Dang cat hair gets everywhere. I’m a freaking fur magnet.Would be interesting to see a test with cat hair between the connection surfaces. Oh, without the hair still attached to the cat of course.
How about just getting on of these?Actually it’s measurable, I don’t remember the value. I always use an internal resistance meter from terminal to terminal when I build.

winston uses a 14mm x 1.25 thread pitch not 6 or 8 mm.so I looked it u[p copper threads on a M6 is still max 23ft-lbs aluminum is 14ft-lbs but I still don't go anywhere near the limit as I am only using about 5 ft-lbs or the recommended value. but why are you talking M12 do the Winston's have bigger terminals?
there is a big issue where everyone seams to think tighter is better, and yes in some applications it is, well most really, but we are not holding two frame pieces together, we are only torquing to a value to hold electrical components snug which in most cases is a lower value than what we are using.
18650's fall from grace is complete as far as I'm concerned.
I feel duped, I would cheerlead for them as they were giving out test reports and had excellent prices.
Then they stopped sending reports despite claiming they would on their site.
They constantly do BS on the shipping prices.
They falsely claim there grade B cells would test to rated capacity (but hey at least they admitted they were grade B)
Now instead of acknowledging this terminal problem they are deleting reviews and sweeping this issue under the rug. Chinese Tactics 101.
Unacceptable! Back to Luyuan!
