I'll chime in at this point. I ordered the 8pak of 200Ah "new 2021 with welded studs" cells on Monday July 12. Just received a box of 4 today, July 15. Not too bad me thinks?! But where are the other 4? Well.. ninthcit general email inquiry reply says check w ups as it shipped in 2 different boxes, and 2 different tracking numbers. Ups tracking shows the 2nd box arriving here a few hrs later. But it's 9pm here in Vegas now, so not very hopeful.
2 things right away before I really dive in.
1. They are packed really great! The big box had plenty of cushion all around, and inside, each cell in its own box well cushioned, in its own static bag. Good job there!
2. The bus bars included are a joke. WAY thin, I can almost bend them with thumb and forefinger. See the pic compared to the bars I got from overkill for my 100Ah cells. (Ninthcit bars have the bend) Should I sandwich 2 of them together? IDK..but these suck a$#! Fortunately I have a backup plan. That's it for now. Onto my charge/discharge capacity tests.
Btw, they arrived at:
3.271
3.271
3.270
3.269
So I guess that's OK for now.
