I read about all the good deals for batteries in US. This is a copy what they got (us deal)
“$5.09 each plus $3.05 first class shipping for qty 4. Works out to 5.85 each qty 4.
8 to 16 cells can ship flat rate priority for $6.30. So, if you ordered 12 batteries, it would work out to $5.62 each. 16 would work out to $5.48 each.
Plastic cases come with all cells. See post #162
Also available are Panasonic/Sanyo NCR18650GA protected cells. They will be equipped with a Seiko PCB with AO MOSFETs for 12-13A high current cutoff. If you are giving one of these lights to an non-enthusiast, quality protected cells are the way to go for piece of mind.
Price is $6.92 each, same shipping as above.”
End of story… what I got in Europe is about 10 $ for protected and very expensive batteries. If someone can make a good deal on batteries in europe or elsewhere they will sell alot of batteries.
I still waiting for a good deal on the batteries, and I hope someone can find away to make a good deal.
OK I just came of the phone with Arjen from Nkon
He is prepared to sell 30Q cells for a price as sharp as he can do, think around €4-€4,40
Shipping is depending on where they need to be send to so vary.
He is going to make sure he gets some stock.
welcome!
I just called to get the number in the phone so I could call tomorrow, not really prepared for the surprise of it being answered this late (+/-21.30h) , dedicated man for sure!
