These are genuine BAK N21700CG-50 battery cells. They are not pulls, rewraps, or recycled cells. BAK is an established manufacturer that supplies cells for major e-bike and energy storage brands. These are perfect for battery pack builds, solar installs, e-bikes, and DIY power projects.

The backstory for these particular cells is they were purchased by an EV battery company that hoped to build hot-swappable battery packs for EVs to minimize charging times. As fast charging has gotten faster and faster, I don't think that panned out that well.

Each cell will arrive pre-charged to ~3.6V
