Seems to be same as RediLast cells.
Wow. This thread went west here. :)
It would have been better to start a new thread regarding the green battery from goinggear.
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 just buy 4 protected for 48,99$ shipped... I cant wait to receive it...
I was actually referring to the protection on the cells that Mr.BrightLights mentioned, rather to the protection on the new intl-outdoor cells.
To try and get this back on topic: There has been no reply to this from the original poster.
Hi! There is no reason for me to answer that question, because for the simple reason that I don't know what to answer, because
I have no part in IOS, if you're a gentleman just ask them!
Im not here to solve your problems with them.
Just here to share that the new batts are available, and that current owners can get discount! That's all! Can't help you to get more discount!
I did contact him and the $2.96 credit is really not a good decision as far as I am concerned. The batteries should have been replaced with the proper " as advertised" batteries. No questions asked. As it stands right now, I am really not happy with the current "solution" to the problem. I don't expect anyone to deal with the "bad battery" except me. You took it upon yourself to post this thread and post the solution to the original issue, so it appeared that you were promoting int-outdoors. No problem. No harm, no foul.
Any news if the first buyers will get a better price?
I need four of them, but for this price I would rather buy them somewhere else with a better price without discount, but to be fair they have not been tested yet.
Thanks to the chinesse postal service I have not received mines yet... Cost me 48,99$ x4 protected shipped... From the moon I think...
They have been tested. HKJ tested them and they perform much better than the blue ones.
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
BIC's NCR's are genuine (at least unprotected ones). I got a 4-pack myself and they perform exactly same as 100% genuine cells from IOS.
You tested them?
So, that buyincoins price is cheapest price ever for this good cells.
But its a risk, because you never known did they change the batch.
Yep, I tested their capacity on a hobby charger. At 1A discharge they were 2950+ mAh down to 2.5V.
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).
Are they really 68mm long? How long are they.
Because on BIC, all are marked as 68mm, weather protected or unprotected.
Thanks Shadowww, I've been "enlightened." LOL
65mm (unprotected ones).
