How much shipping to Australia?

I'm sorry, international shipping to Australia is ridiculous. USPS First Class international is calculating out to $23.75 to me, you're probably better off buying at a chinese retailer with free shipping.

21700 fit in these xtar chargers?

I need an 18650 button top that is 68mm+ in length or longer. Recomendations?

Unprotected 21700 will fit in the Dragon VP4+

Protected 21700 and 20700 will fit in

XTAR O4S (Over 4 Slim) and the XTAR SC2

Unprotected button tops don't seem to go past 68mm unfortunately due to lack of PCB, we do have a protected MJ1 button top that's relatively inexpensive.

I knew I would likely have to use a protected cell. Been looking for a good cell at a good price. Those seem to be a likely candidate. Whats the next cell up in amps?

What?? Sony vct5a went up to $6.49… it was $5.99 couple days ago. I was thinking about ordering 10… I guess i will wait.

Yes, unfortunately latest market pricing has changed on these, we're also experiencing problems with Sony VTC6, funny enough future shipments of these will have lot codes removed to prevent suppliers from being banned from Murata.

Well I have 8 of the KeepPowers in my cart, I just can’t seem to pull the trigger. Good price compared to everyone else but still pricey for me, maybe tomorrow.

Ordered 8 KeepPower 18650’s. Thanks for the recomendation.

What issues are with VTC6?
Thx…

Murata took over the Sony battery business and they don't want to sell to people who use them outside of battery packs.

Future shipments of these batteries will have lot codes removed to prevent suppliers from being banned from Murata.

So the supplier removes the lot code so that the cells can’t be traced back to them?

EDIT: Do you have a charger that can do at least 2x cells (4x is better) capable of 1A per bay simultaneously (or more), and can charge Li-Ion and LiFePO4 (and NiMH is a plus) for under $40?

Yes lot code is removed so they can't be traced for this....undesirable market.

Folomov A4 is capable of charging all 4 slots at 2A, up to 3A in 2 slots and supports all the chemistry listed above. https://www.illumn.com/folomov-a4-intelligent-rapid-charger-li-ion-lifepo4-nimh-nicd-charger.html

Thanks for the Reply Calvin. :+1:

Any sales coming up on 21700’s and 18350’s?
