4 x 14500 for 6,49$ Soshine arrived and tested

Soshine is interesting company. They were never famous for anything, but they seem to deliver quite good product. I have a Soshine Ni-Mh charger, that I bought from DX in 2008 (the days where DX and Kai were most popular chinese webshops) it works like a charm. After 9 years of regular use, it’s still going strong and I prefer to use it over the new hybrid ones…

That’s quite fast shipping…

Mine is still stuck (shipped using China Post Registered Mail):

As far as I know, China Post Registered mail does not allow shipping Li-ion batteries to my country, I hope its just a ‘placeholder’ tracking number and the real package is already in transit…

But nice package, and the capacity tests seem good on yours.

Did you test when the 14500 is just freshly-charged off the charger?
Also, was the Turbo setting is at max?

Comparing mine, using a PKCell ICR14500 (freshly charged from charger); these are using a Mastech MS8229 multimeter to measure tail-cap current:
UT01 (neutral white):
‘high’ setting: 1.38A (factory default; likely not the ‘highest’ program setting)

UT01 (cool white):
‘high’ setting: 1.66A (programmed to “highest” setting)

I thought I’d never see my order of the above Soshine 14500s, finally saw some tracking movement:

I wonder if it will arrive before the new year…

Anyone compare between PKCell ICR14500 vs Soshine 14500 ?

Gearbest is now reporting that they can not ship these to the US.

Maybe just to Hawaii?

I can’t say. It didn’t say “Can’t ship to Hawaii”. I read this thread when it first opened and the listing stated there was an extra charge ($2.99?) but would let me purchase. Should have bought it then. :smiley:

$14.15. + $3.85 AUD del to Aust.
Ordered on 7th Oct.

They said they’d send another set when I escalated it with E-Bay.

You get things a lot cheaper over there nowadays.

I think it’s a forget me delivery.
IE Go somewhere else hey. Even with X-Mas deliverys.
Had to buy from EBay dealer. GB do not ship to AUS.

After 2 months of waiting, my order never arrived.
Opened a dispute with this store in AliExpress…

Seems like I could not get hold of any Soshine ICR14500s that ship to our country…

I got mine from Gearbest
