Massive post on where to get lithium-ion batteries everywhere in the world! Look at Post 2-5 for info, And Canada Post 123

Thanks a lot Barkuti for the information about posting images properly!!
Quality batteries last for a long time. I can’t tell about li-ion, but i have some Sanyo and Eneloops Ninh for more than 10 years and still work fine!

Found 10 GA batteries on ebay, 58.99 shipped,from US

Any tips on authenticating these?

That’s not too good of a deal of 10x NCR18650GAs.

Here’s one at 4,99$US/cell:

Slightly cheaper MJ1 at Liion Wholesale:

Thanks for that !.. I had a cart at Liion for about the same as the ebay guy , with shipping…
At Ilumn, I can get two more for that price !
Thanks!

Forgot I wanted to toss a 21700 in there …Hope they can do it after the fact

Very helpful post. Thanks much!

In case someone is interested, 192led is featuring a 20% OFF code right now, and some of their battery offers are very good. Like NCR18650BMs, INR18650-29Es, US18650VTC6s maybe, INR18650-30Qs, Shockli 21700 4000mAh and 26650 5500mAh even cheaper than in their AE store after coupon, even the UltraFire BRC 18350 1100mAh protected cell (God knows what cell are they using right now under the wrap). 192led is a fraudster.

At your own risk of course.

Cheers :-)

192led is very shady. They never reply to e-mails, provided inexistent tracking number. I filed a complaint to paypal.
Maybe is best not to advertise them anymore.

US:

RTD Vapor
https://www.rtdvapor.com/

I have ordered from them before. They have reasonable shipping prices and a pretty big selection of higher end batteries.

In Europe I find myself very well with Nkon; lately I bought 20X18650 Samsung INR18650-29E 2900mAh to 3 euros each, including the tracked shipping.

The actual problem here is PayPal's mandatory shipment tracking number policy. Tracked shipping is more expensive than untracked, and when margins are super tight that can be the difference between sales profits or not.

Your complaint is thus not due. I mean, you should revoke it and at the very least wait a couple months before submitting the first moaning gestures. Of course this is just my point of view.

Years ago this was no issue. Now if you shop on eBay it becomes clear super quick, or do you expect tracked shipments for less than $1 items? LoL!

Cheers ^:)

Has anyone verified the cells from 192led as genuine? Prices seem a little too good to be true.

Thanks for the thread BSM. :smiley:

Liionwholsale is my hometown dealer. 0.9 miles away! Jon, the owner lives across the street from me.Their customer service can not be beat, prices are great and it is SO convenient for me,plus NO SHIPPING!

My choices in order

1.Liionwholsale.com
2.Illumns. great place also. Craig is a great guy,been buying from them the longest
3.mAh batteries

Possible new editions for your list?

https://mahbattery.com/

mAh battery had some super, super low prices for about 10 months[when they first opened]. Now most batteries are a bit higher than Liionwholesale, Still a reputable place

Your thread made me realize how Lucky I am to live in USA for my hobby.

CAPO[means BOSS in Italian] wanted to thank you also!

Thanks,I forgot about them. Another good place about 75 minutes from me.I purchased from them 3X and have always been satisfied.

Seriously? I’ve messaged Lionwholesale and they never emailed back regarding if they ship to New Zealand for a bulk order :confused:

I expect them to answer to e-mails/messages. You know, at least the usual bullshit messages delivered by the unscrupulous Chinese sellers trying to convince you to drop the dispute.
And they don’t have a support/ticketing system.

Almost certain they state on their website that they do NOT ship overseas.

They do ship… if you can actually pay for it :smiley:

Ships to europe and UK

Soooo, UPDATE

I finally received my 18650s from the Aliya Battery Store: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1382210?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.7a5b23dbkNLBYu

And I can say that they are truly genuine, and arrived on time to Canada!

Proofs and pictures of legitimacy:

1. They all weigh the same, around 45,9g and 47,2g.

2. The NCR18650GAs have the protruding flat top, and the Samsung 30Qs have a 3 pole positive terminal. No problem there.

3. The voltage of all 30Qs is 3,41V, and 3,51V for the NCR18650GAs. So, conform to shipping regulations.

Capacities will be tested later this week, along with internal resistance.

@BlueSwordM

I ordered a day after you did and also received my order today. Interesting that the sender’s address is in Greensboro, NC, USA. Not that it really matters but it seems that Aliya is using an intermediary (?) address in the US that later ships to Canada through USPS. No big deal as long as the cells are genuine, which seem to be the case.
