Found some cheaper 18650 3100mAh here 18650 NCR18650A
Has anyone tried those? Are they really 3100mAh?
They just look like the unprotected panasonic 18650’s. Good cells and that seems to be the right price for them too. Have em for the same price here: LED Flashlight-INTL Outdoor Store If you’re gonna buy 10 you could ask for a discount.
@buyshi:
If you take noname you are right, but the first post show Panasonic batteries and I haven’t heard something about fake Panasonic batteries ever.
@sintro:
Please take a closer look at the first post and the batteries. They are protected. Your link show unprotected Panasonic.
@MAM0HT:
They will have 3000-3100, but have you notice the size. For some flashlights, the batteries are to long (for example Spark SL6). If you need not ten, DX have them, too (a pair for $20,70 incl. protection case, 3 pairs: $19 per pair):

Good thing you caught that, I really should’ve took my time instead of doing it in between deathrun rounds in css.
… but there is that chance that the forgers have started already…
Plus, you hear occasionally hear about troubles with Aliexpress transactions. (My notion is that they always side with the seller if something goes bad.)
So I was inclined to buy from hkequipment.net ($66 for 6; delivered fast). That was a buck more than DX, but I wanted them in days, not months.
Aside to byshi: you fit the pattern of a flurry of recent posters that pop up with only slightly relevant tinydeal urls. I’ve marked you as a spammer.
I have dealt with Aliexpress before and have no problems there. Guess I got lucky. DX in a turn has been not so good to me. Anyway, afterreading some reviews I have found that these batteries could be thenones that for some reason provide lower current than some others. Hope it is not the case. Should be a good replacement for my current bunch of red flames. I am also curious about their temperature tolerance. I intend to use some of them in my TM11 and that thing gets quite warm.
It's nice of you to join us, MAM0HT!
Thanks. Yes, the nick means exactly that. In Russian. But some got it already :bigsmile:
