Used Headway 38120HP 3.2V 8Ah LiFePO4 Cells
These Headway 38120HP LiFePO4 cells come from engineering samples or generator backup packs and continue to test near full capacity. They deliver exceptional power output and long cycle life at a fraction of the cost of new cells.
Each cell includes mounting screws for easy assembly. Busbars and holders are also available at very affordable prices.
High‑Power Performance
These large-format cylindrical cells are capable of extremely high current delivery:
200A continuous discharge
80A continuous charge
Four cells in series can even start a vehicle. Please ensure your wiring, busbars, and safety practices are rated for the current these cells can deliver.
Capacity & Testing
We’ve tested thousands of these cells. Expect an average of 90–100% of original capacity at a standard 0.2C (1.6A) discharge rate. They offer excellent value and long remaining life.
Ideal Applications
LiFePO4 chemistry is ideal for 12V systems—four cells in series match the voltage of a lead‑acid battery. Perfect for:
RVs and off‑grid systems
EV conversions
Competition car audio
Custom 12V battery builds
