No idea, my Son sent it to me, as an example of a scam, if the labelng is correct, and that little battery is suitable as a 65 AH leisure, why make it look and feel like a regular battery.

Just googling ‘lead-acid battery bricks scam’ turns up some strange stuff. This Allie express scam actually shows it happens with LiFePO too

If it can be faked, it will be, every single time.

I was at an associates house yesterday and he brought what he thought were 2 x 500ah lithium batteries from aliexpress. He was a bit cautious about them & decided to open them up, on opening he calculated their output at 170ah each

Its a minefield with the amount of choice of brands that are making Lithium batteries...Most of which ive never heard before. I recently bought 2 x 100ah but made sure i done my homework by watching youtube reviews and teardowns on said batteries before I purchased....lots of junk out there. Incidently..The batteries I got were rated at 100ah but under test delivered 106ah....the real deal.
