Composed a response and deleted it. Grade A appears to be anything we want it to be. For an example, go to this thread post #213 Apparantly, some very popular server rack batteries use telecom grade cells and advertise them as grade A+. I'll have to look again, but some sites claim EV cells are superior to telecom cells. Would that make the telecom cells grade b?What is the requirement for the cell to be qualified as telecommunications grade cells? I have not seen one before, just curious.
They do Grade them as A, B and C. The C cells are dumped or recycled. (hopefully)There are no official grades. (Just marketing hype)
If they pass, they go to the auto manufacturers.
If they fail (no matter how slightly), they are sold to vendors that sell to us.
I have heard they have at least 5 major tests it needs to Pass over a 30 day period. The one that they typically fail is the X-Ray examination. I figure if it fails that first test they don't bother with the others like weight, resistance, capacity testing, etc.Or could it be simply pass/fail? Of course with the final test result of why it failed.

I'm just wondering what your relationship is with Ray. Because I always see the 3 of you show up anytime Ray is in a dispute. I'm just wondering if one or more of you is like Ray's sock puppet army. Y'all seem a little too interested in everything related to Ray.
Yes I am not sure what he was suggesting because Ray is probably one of the nicest guys I have seen on YT.What did I say about falsely accusing someone? If someone uses a duplicate account in that manner, we (the admins) would know. It's against the rules. There are automated systems in place to check for this.
All of these corporate accounts from one particular company are being used like one person with 9 accounts.
i have none, except i consider him someone, like will, trying to help folks, and doing so with honesty and integrity@houseofancients @Kornbread @Bud Martin

that is what i thought, this skf guy is one nasty piece of workI KNOW Amy Wan IS NOT SELLING TO SFK ! He IS on several Blackists with companies he has threatened and been belligerent to. Amy Wan She is also a friend as I know her mother, husband & daughter and get regular updates about the family even. I am the one who encouraged her to go direct and she buys in Large Lots of matched batches.
If SFK says the sun rises in the west, would you believe it. ? I would hope not.
I think you know which one because there is only one.Which one? We've already kicked off a lot of corporate accounts. Promotion is not allowed, and they have to actually contribute to discussions.
Your right about that but in a few years their are going to be a ton of used cells on the market, so much that I bet the prices drop in half or even more.As production yield is constantly improving, there will be less and less "Grade B" cells available. AKA scrap cells
EVE doesn't advertise "Grade A" because they don't offer anything but "Grade A" cells which has passed all QC checks and come with warranty from EVE. The failed batteries are all sold to 1 sole factory currently who then sells to many of these Alibaba companies who put fancy stickers on the cells and market them as best they can.
10,000 cells is a sample order from EVE, while you may think this is a large quantity, large manufacturers use many times this amount.
well compensated ?What if for the first 20 seconds on any sponsored Youtube video, Youtube added a huge disclaimer you couldn't miss that states
"The following filmmaker is being compensated for the video you are about to watch"
Would this make things more clear for how you viewed the video, with a grain of salt perhaps?
Ray is viewed as a KOL due to his down to earth style and very trustworthy.
What is a KOL?
"KOL stands for Key Opinion Leader, which is also known as an “influencer” in the Western countries. Key opinion leaders are a spokesperson, a brand ambassador, or a thought leader. They are seen as having more importance and relevance than mass media because they are able to connect and relate to their audience."
I don't believe Ray set out with bad intentions but here we are today, it should be known he is well compensated by Docan so take that as you will.
I have one battery out of four of SLT that has runners, so not too bad. 2 out 4 from another vender. 1/1 from another and 1/1 from another.I don't know about other's, but I don't believe Amy Wan's cells are grade A. Perhaps it's timing related, but zero of my nine cells received in Jan, 2021 met capacity test.
@Sverigeparroting the same narrative the OP of this thread has been pushing!
