I have 8 cell I purchased last year that were sold as 310ah cells. I tested 3 of them and all had over 310ah.
I top balance them and put them in service a few months ago. One cell is not up to the task and when all others are at 3.19 volts that cell takes a nose dive to 2.65 and the BMS shuts the pack output down. I re-top balanced that cell but still no go. The other day I used to QR code and found out that are not 310ah but 302ah CATL cells so I got a hold of Amy @ Docan to see if they had anything in the states. She has 2 EVE 302ah cell in the states but that they do not recommend mixing CATL and EVE cells.
What different between the brand to not make them play nice together?
