No, the pack I linked actually has VTC6s.
I ordered the 25Rs a looong time ago. I think 2 years ago.

Well, those are betterā¦
Perhaps I should buy this pack and see if they also contain legit cells, like the last pack.
Some interesting high discharge offers for you Canuckians in Aliya's hut:
Iāve been lucky enough to have cells brought up from the States by relatives, but if I were buying a whole new set now, Iād just get them from illumn. For 10 cells itās something like $16 shipping, which doesnāt add that much to the cost per cell. You can also be completely confident theyāre legit.
@Barkuti, why did you have to spill the beans about that store?
I was actually keeping it secret for myself
I like to help people, and Aliya's shop is what seems one of those AliExpress merchants who like to spell truth. Everything is clearly stated in their ads: brand name, model and everything, and prices seem as good as it can reasonably be for 1st OEM cells.
I had it bookmarked because of the KeepPower UH1835P 18350 cells.
^:)
Donāt buy on account of my needs. Much that I like the idea, want something workable by x-mas. I donāt have a large collection of lights and my needs are modest ā about a dozen cells.
However, if you do explore the venue and they are sony VTC6, and you do wish to depart with some, Iāll gladly fork over some PayPal dough covering the post & fees.
@ Barkuti: Iāve earmarked that link. Much to explore in the battery underworld! What are their shipping times? HK to Canada typically 5 weeks (w/ previous AE).
P.S. I donāt seem to have Paypal option on Aliyaās Battery Storeā¦
MTN Electronics is ok with 4 cell cap, combined with other items lowers the per piece shipping fee. Same with Ilumn. But as of right now just want some 3 to 4 cells.
But scavenging about I came on these TESLA 3550mAh NCA18650GA cells . Now that would fit the ājet setā crowd!
Very interestingā¦ Thanks.
Don't really know, no orders from them yet for me and even if I were have gone through some I would have chosen TNT-PostNL, barely a few cents more and much better in my case. Seller's Shipping Method usually means slow boat for me, probably railway ground shipping (45+ days). In your particular case it could be faster.
@ Barkuti: And what about PayPal? On an earlier post you mentioned that payment option. Some distrust w/ Asian vendors and a credit card.
Iāve looked over Aliyaās site. Seemās very legit and very well detailed info. Shipping is the slowest though - some 12 weeks. The prices are great and they do ship Canadian.
For me the only reason to choose PayPal in AliExpress is for the extra protection in case of dispute. I've never used PayPal in AliExpress yet. I would probably pay with PayPal if buying cells from some random LietoKala Faketory Store. For Aliya's I see 0% reason, they're hiding nothing.
It seems the PayPal option is just a vendor option.

I canāt mention this enough. If you live within driving distance of a border crossing and the other side has a Kinek shipping point you can pick up your order and declare through Customs. It costs 5 dollars US per package and Canada Customs will rarely pull you over for less than 100 Canadian currently and soon to be more.
I personally declare led flashlight components as a rule and have had no problems yet. Sometimes you have to shrug and tell them itās a hobby :laughing:
IDK, honestly I thought this was a joke.
Any chance of fakes from that store?
No.
Realistic prices, unlike the Liitokala stores, 3 leg positive terminals, no sticker hiding the name, no branding whatsoever, no misleading title.
Everything checks out
They do list it as keeppower in their specs though lol
Just realized their 30Qs are flat tops and won't work in my astrolux battery cages.
Hello! :-)
Check if this is of service to you klrman. Part of the trick involves the flux (Goot Super Soldering Flux or any other suitable for steel and the like), albeit you could do without it by slightly filing the cell top just prior to fusing the Bi50Sn18Pb32/Rose's metal pellet. Once done it is best to brush the cell caps with an alcohol soaked brush to do away with any flux remainings:
