Could these be the one? I have never seen A123s sold without tabs before.A123s in particular you have to be very careful about. There was a defect a few years back and thousands of cells were discarded with the tabs snipped. But they ended up on the Chinese market with newly welded tabs, and they're always trying to unload them on unsuspecting victims.
