GROUPBUY: 8pcs Samsung 35E BUTTON TOP for the BLF GT

Perhaps a silly question but how are the button tops connected to the cell?
Seems like the button is held down by a sticker?

Isn’t it supposed to be spot welded?

So I’m in on the group buy and I filled the email form for interest in the batteries. When I receive the pm for GT payment will I be able to pay for batteries too?

Good question. Ive seen button top tabs both welded and floating free inside the shrink wrapper, so I think we need clarification.

I’m in. Submitted email and asked to get on list for the light.

I’m on the GT list and and would like to get in on this group buy also. BLF is starting to hurt my wallet.

the buttons will be spot welded

Directly onto the flat top or with a strip of tin in between?

I ask because I had some directly spotwelded tops fall off some 18650’s I ordered from NKON

I’m in the first 500 for the GT so please add me to this list, 8 matching button top cells would be great

I am also in the first 500 GT list and would like to be in for 8 button tops.
I have sent my email through the first post but don’t see my name
on any list.

I’ll be frank and say that I’m not on the group buy for BLF GT, because I’m still lacking batteries for the BLF Q8 (also ordered using the M4D code from here)…

I had hoped to purchase these batteries for the requirements of the BLF Q8. It’s very difficult to find some store that ships to our country.

Are the 35E also from Banggood? If so, can it also be requested that the batteries be placed inside the BLF Q8? (I have already asked Banggood about this, but they have not been helpful, just saying that it’s not allowed.) I don’t want to repeat having to buy a flashlight to be able to get the batteries shipped (I bought a BLF A6 with included INR18650-30Q from Banggood, because that’s the only way for me to get the INR18650-30Q.)

Would appreciate any help in getting button-top batteries shipped to my country. Otherwise, my BLF Q8 will be paperweights… (already pre-ordered from BG and they’re set to ship on Dec 5). Hoping I’ll be able to get batteries almost the same time as when the BLF Q8 arrives.

Form finally completed

Thanks for this. Can I be added to the list too, please?

I’d like to get in on this, but I still haven’t been added to the GT official list yet (just asked to be added on page 281 of that thread). Those getting in on the initial run of GTs have first crack at the battery deal I’m assuming, so I didn’t fill out the email form. Can I sign up, or should I defer for now since I’m not even on the list for the GT yet and wont be in on the initial run?

I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION.

I don't understand the procedure...

Please can someone clarify thIs?

Thanks!!

interested :slight_smile:

you receive the mails / PM when it is ready

we try to get more stock for the second run -

maybe we can offer them just beside the light.

It would be great to get them besides the GT because I already need the batteries and I'm in the $150 list.. (so I'll have to wait)

It would be a real pity to me to pay 2x the price if I can't purchase them within December.. :(

I’m in the first 500, please add me to the list for the 8 cells.

UPDATE:

It seems we can offer the cells just beside the GT without confusing codes or such :)
please be fair and DO NOT add them if you have not entered your mail in the list (which is mainly used to feel the demand)
