Has anyone found fake cells in budget boards?

Wondering if anyone took apart the packs that came with their board & identified fake cells in budget boards, or even a premium board.

I’m pretty sure it’s confirmed that evolve uses cheap low quality cells.

After 500 battery cycles you can be at low-voltage shutdown after 500 meters from a fresh charge…

Evolve is good, they bring more customers to DIY battery builders to upgrade their battery :sweat_smile:

I mean, Evolve is a heck of a lot better than cheap hub motor boards.

They are actually prismatic li-ion

I’ve heard stories about the cells in china boards not being what was ordered/paid for, but only second hand anecdotal accounts. Haven’t seen any of them for myself,.
