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

Has anyone in UK tried ordering li ion batteries from banggood. There is a new option called “Standard Mail Register” and cost more than the options like “Priority direct mail” you would usually see. This is the only shipping option available. Banggood support said it’s fine cause if the item was prohibited it wouldn’t let you place the order.

Ecolux, 18650.uk and Torchy have also got ebay shops:

I’m looking for the flat top shockli 5500. I bought a button top pair from torchy but the button doesn’t make good contact in an FT03 which makes the spring hot.

Hi there,

I’m one of the founders of Musk Atomics.

We recently launched a brand new 2200mah battery. Our goal for the next 18 months is to bring the cost of cells down to below $200/kwh.

We’re currently using a slight variation on the standard chemistry to get prices down to $315/kwh, which is significantly better than most of the other batteries that are publicly available.

Please note that due to the modified chemistry, the safe discharge rate is only 6A. If you need to draw 30A, this is not the battery for you.

We’re trying to get the word out about our batteries. If anybody in this forum is looking for very competitively priced cells, please check us out: https://muskatomics.com/collections/batteries/products/musk-18650-2200mah-3-7v-rechargeable-lithium-ion-li-ion-battery

Hey there! I’m recently just has bought the SHOCKLII 26650 5500 30A Black one from Aliexpress. I received it and all good to go.

But when you look at its 26650 column/page, they had another version 26650 which wrapped green labeled as 5250mah 20a/40a. Yes, what cought my attention is the discharge mark, 20a/40a. I am aware of HKJ test with the mentioned battery, but could it be really a high discharge battery compared with theblack 26650 30a???

Genuine Shockli, and others:

@BlueSwordM Thanks for starting this thread. I’m just now finding it, but happy that I have made my last three purchases from vetted sources (USA). :+1:

I ordered two from him along with an NI40. UK law says it has to be in the device but Neal said he found a way to send it. Hopefully they arrive.

That black label Shockli is really only a 20A cell. Here is Mooch’s test.

Ok guys. Will be soon doing an update to this post with better formatting, easier searchability, and more battery sources!

Should be coming soonTM.

Are these Panasonic NCR 18650GA 30A 3.7V 3500mAh genuine?
If so, very good price.

Looks to me that the number of legs on the positive terminal is different from that shown on other websites such as Lion Wholesale.

That’s probably a cell that has capacity equivalent to an NCR18650GA, but not internal resistance.

Its number of legs on the positive terminal is quite a bit higher than what’s found on an NCR18650GA.

Ok, thanks guys!

Following this thread , :+1:

Very likely same cells as used in some fake NCR18650Bs.

No markings on bare cells.

Look at that :open_mouth:
I’m on the hunt for genuine brand cells with good capacity and 10A continuous for 2 bucks a piece.
I have found them at i.e liionwholesale but they’re sold out.

Yeah,
The official flagship store of vapcell, vapcell and five major brands of li-ion and molicel batteries are all genuine guarantee

Just a note — Nealsgadgets doesn’t ship loose cells to the US anymore. The order will complete, and the money will transfer, but will go into indefinite limbo with no feedback as to why.

Tesla/panasonic are the same batteries?? :open_mouth:
