I actually didn't know they had such a big price difference but I 100% understand why. It's because on amazon people can return the batteries easy AF.What’s y’all’s thoughts or experiences with buying batteries from eBay vs Amazon? Seems every brand across the board is quite a bit cheaper on eBay. From gensacearespammers to zeee.

That is really interesting and supprised they are doing that.Don't forget the manufacturers website too.. Zeee also sells off their own site. I have bought from all 3 sources, returns through ebay are quite easy as well, mine was prepaid return shipping, payment was returned within 24hrs of product return delivery.. no worries there.
However, I'm done with Zeee batts after this last deal..there's just too many other options, why bother.
I'd like to mention also that Zeee is now crimping the bullets on all EC5 connector equipped batteries from what I can tell. Other amazon/ebay brands may also be, IDK. Crimped connectors are not nearly as long lasting or safe as soldered connections IMO. The wires start fraying apart rather quickly with crimped connectors.. a good picture of what I mean can be found here..

Yeah, I think Zeee have gone downhill in the last 3 or 4 years..seems after the "C ratings" wars started heating up from what I can tell.. 3 years ago I was buying Zeee 50c batteries that worked great, now I have 120c rated Zeee's that fall flat on their arse under load..triggering LVC the voltage is sagging so bad..That is really interesting and supprised they are doing that.
From my testing Zeee lipos just really under perform. I had tried some on a low power brushed rig and seemed like the 5500 mAh 2s pack had the capacity of something more like 4000 mAh. Then just for fun I tried them with a castle ESC on a speed runner and as you could imagine they fell flat on their face when loaded with over 250 amps.
Yes that likely was me. The G+ is CNHLs best performing lipo.Yeah, I think Zeee have gone downhill in the last 3 or 4 years..seems after the "C ratings" wars started heating up from what I can tell.. 3 years ago I was buying Zeee 50c batteries that worked great, now I have 120c rated Zeee's that fall flat on their arse under load..triggering LVC the voltage is sagging so bad..
I actually just grabbed a pair of CNHL G+ based on your reports, at least I think it was you. The 6.0 G+ are a challenge to use due to their odd shape, but man, for "only 70c" rated, they pack a serious punch!! I paid $100 for a pair of Zeee 4s 7.2 120c batteries (and returned)..the CNHL G+ 6.0 were $90. No contest!! Better batteries, lower cost..thanks!!

I've never really liked the Zee batts. My go to for budget basher packs are Hoovo & Ovonic. I also really like SMC packs. Haven't gotten around to trying out CNHL yet.Yeah, I think Zeee have gone downhill in the last 3 or 4 years..seems after the "C ratings" wars started heating up from what I can tell.. 3 years ago I was buying Zeee 50c batteries that worked great, now I have 120c rated Zeee's that fall flat on their arse under load..triggering LVC the voltage is sagging so bad..

For my sons Slash ZEEE is great.I've never really liked the Zee batts. My go to for budget basher packs are Hoovo & Ovonic. I also really like SMC packs. Haven't gotten around to trying out CNHL yet.
Absolutely, great point.For my sons Slash ZEEE is great.
I think it depends on the car and how much power it needs.
I run stock electronics in most everything, as such my battery needs are minimal. So I've always just bought the cheaper batteries, no worries. The Zeee batteries I sent back were 7.2ah 120c..which should easily power a stock K8S . Maybe they were just a bad set, IDK. They were fine for several cycles through the Xmaxx, ir's were all relatively equal between 3-9 ohms at full charge. Then, after just one run in the K8S, which didn't last more than 5 minutes before I shut it down, after say 5 seconds of full throttle the esc went into limp mode. the ir readings were all over, both at storage and full charge..matter of fact, they went from storage voltage of 3.8v per cell to 4.1v per cell in like 2 minutes while charging at 5a?!For my sons Slash ZEEE is great.
