Where's all the 21700?

ouch this sucks… corona not making things easy for anything :frowning:

Techdirectclub.com has 14 packs of 21700 tesla 5000mah bats for 45.99. That’s only 3.29 apiece. My first order all tested out above 4800 with several about 5100. They handle high drains in my vape mods just fine.

Batteryhookup has individuals for 3.25 but their shipping is kinda high. Tech direct had free 1st class shipping and my 14 were packed in a cardboard box with dividers to hold 25. I was happy with the packing.

I’m looking for minumum 20A discharge so the Lishen LA, 40T, P42A, and 30T are on my hot list. I’ll wait for p42A to come back in stock.

I just ordered a couple of p42A from this place, only online store found that didn't want $10 a piece ($8.49) and shipping was only $3.76 for four -

.

There are Vapcell T50 in AE available again....

Yours for only $22 each before shipping… ridiculous. Vapcell is officially overpriced.

I may wait for lithium ion wholesale to get p42a, but i may get 30t’sfrom there. Shipping is cheap enough.

Aren’t you curious how the have it when they are sold out everywhere?

Yes, I am curious. But I threw caution to the wind and invested a few bucks to find out. The batteries will be examined and tested when they come in. Shouldn’t be too long before they arrive - they shipped within 24 hours of order placement.

Oh yea, I’ve found them elsewhere but not below $10 each, so I would not say they are sold out everywhere.

Where’s all the 21700?

I might be off base here, but is the Sparks Nevada mega factory retooling to produce 4680 for Tesla? And Texas? And Some Asian factories? Many say the lithium ion battery world is driven by EV demand and the requirement for 18650 and 21700 might be reduced as the 4680 takes off. What do you think?

There are some that have them, but authorized dealers stre sold out. Let us know what tour test results show of the ones you got.

Be careful, I remembered that 1-2 years ago many P26A cells sold by IMRbatteries had issues and IMR is not a Molicel authorized dealer

His P42A are now only 5 months old. I am very fortunate that I do not have to pay for shipping. My brother lives a few miles away. He picks up my stash and then I pick it up over the weekend or whenever I can get to this house.

So, have you tested them? Are they legitimate?

I’m looking for reasonably priced 21700 myself - prefer high capacity over high current.

EDIT: I see the P42A is back in stock at Liion.

Plenty available here.

I think Aloft Hobbies still has some 21700. I ordered my 26800s from there last month, but prices have gone up apparently:

They also have a 3 pack for $11.99 shipped.

Thank you for the heads up on Tech Direct. I ordered a 3 pack to try them out.

Sure, I read about them in the post linked below. It seemed like a good buy to me.
