Need a clearer photo and lower down to be able to see more of the base.
My question is regarding the base undeneath the terminal. From what I have found is that the LF304 normally have a round base wheres the LF280K V3 have an octagon base like what I have. So Im wondering If i got sold LF280K marketed as LF304. Or if they changed to the octagon base on the LF304 also. But every picture I have seen of the LF304 has the roundish base under the terminal.Is there an imprint in the shipping box’s protective foam in the shape of the terminal? The terminal looks like it’s leaning, but it could be camera aspect angle.
I have yet to any 304's with ocogone bases, but It could very well be that EVE has changed thatMy question is regarding the base undeneath the terminal.

You mean next to the QR code - yes seems very clear that's what they are. Same as what I got, only these actually do have LF280K on them. They probably will test to around 304Ah, but the batch of 304Ah I eventually got tested around 313Ah. You have a right to complain to the seller. At the right price adjustment (i.e. some refund) they are still good cells.I see LF280K on the barcode label.
Good eye!I see LF280K on the barcode label.
Very interesting and alarming...Wow, your are the second person that ordered 304 cells and got 280K instead:
18650 Battery Store
This is my third purchase from 18650 Battery Store. The first purchase was in 01-2023 for 32pcs of their grade 'b' 304ah Eve cells. Had one dud right out of the box that 18650 quickly replaced. The second order was in 03-2023 for another 32pcs of their grade 'b' 304ah Eve Cells...diysolarforum.com
first I thought it was a mistake but now I'm thinking this is some BS going on.
18650 is sinking fast first they no longer send you test reports, now they are sending the wrong cells!
Very interesting and alarming...
If you really zoom in on one of the photos from the "304ah" reviews it looks like 280k...

ANy help appreciated... These are supposed to be Grade a EVE LF304 form 18650 recievd acouple of days ago.
I guess if they were actually 280 cells they may have moved them to that 304 section since they performed so well? though they're worse than the real 304ah onesOf my batch of eight 304Ah from EEL Battery they got between 310-317Ah when I tested them. The four '304Ah' (which like this poster, were actually 280K v.3) tested at around 300-304Ah so with decent cells you're pretty likely to get more capacity than on the label, but that's like anything sold by weight - you usually get a little extra to protect themselves against claims of under weight (probably not with gold bullion though).
Can you weigh the cells? Looks like the 304 are slightly heavier.ANy help appreciated... These are supposed to be Grade a EVE LF304 form 18650 recievd acouple of days ago. View attachment 200389View attachment 200390View attachment 200391
