Same trip, means same number and probably same model of mos. The only difference is that one of Redilast cell displays a very good curve compared to the other NCR18650A cells, at least that is the case with one cell, the the other doesn't match it. But that is normal. How knows, Jason picks them better.
Redilast 5A 2728mAH
IOS 5A 2723mAh
Theses highest two results on 5A discharge from all the protected tested by HKJ.
I did contact him and the $2.96 credit is really not a good decision as far as I am concerned. The batteries should have been replaced with the proper " as advertised" batteries. No questions asked. As it stands right now, I am really not happy with the current "solution" to the problem. I don't expect anyone to deal with the "bad battery" except me. You took it upon yourself to post this thread and post the solution to the original issue, so it appeared that you were promoting int-outdoors. No problem. No harm, no foul.
Any news if the first buyers will get a better price?
I need four of them, but for this price I would rather buy them somewhere else with a better price without discount, but to be fair they have not been tested yet.
Are these for real? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Panasonic-Li-lion-18650-NCR18650-Rechargeable-Battery-3100mAh-Green-/290687263784?pt=US_Rechargeable_Batteries&hash=item43ae4fa428
Or fakes?
I mean, Panasonic NCR from buyincioins? (thhey sell fake Trustfire flames, like those fakes dx sold)
Heres the link from buyincoins http://www4.buyincoins.com/search--panasonic+ncr----1.html
I thought Panasonic 18650s were only made in Japan. The photos from Intl Outdoor appear to have Manufactured in China on them. If I were to invest in Panasonics, I'd only buy the made in Japan ones. Does anyone know with certainty if Panasonic has authorized/approved their cells to be made outside of Japan?
The cell inside, made by Panasonic, is ALWAYS made in Japan. But the battery is assembled in China (it says “Cell & IC made in Japan; Assembled in China” on intl-outdoors batteries).
