It's a scam. A 30ah battery would be the three times the size and weight of the 8.8ah one.

Show us what you have, then we can help you.

If it's this one, it'll be about 7AH and probably recycled cells that won't last until the end of the week.

Thankfully your asking Before clicking Buy, when folk turn up upto £100 poorer thinking they scored a deal
but are having problems it can be harder to break the news.

Any battery making claims such as 2x or 3x the capacity while a similar mass is totally bogus.
You can look up the cells used in most batteries and find out the unit cost per cell to illustrate why any battery carries the price it does.

Only when paying a fair price or more for a new battery can you expect a good result.

7s3p is impossible to have 30ah, one might get 15ah if they use 3 x 5ah 21700 cells in parallel.
It is a scam/false description so be very aware.

The dimensions tell us what we need to know 58mm width , it has three parallel 18650 cells of unknown quality inside. DO NOT BUY.
