It's quite a coincidence that I ordered 3 AAA lights and 2 AA lights last week :) Still looking for some good 2xAA light with neutral tint and good low modes. Fenix TK20 or LD25. Then I'll be safe. :)
I ordered several 18650's from a seller on ebay at the begining of January, they never came :(
On the plus side though I contacted the seller and they instantly refunded me the full amount and an appology that they didn't have any more in stock to send.
Yes and yes, the batteries have a bit longer runtime that XTAR 2400mAh which are true 2400mAh batteries. Compared to the only genuine Trustifre flame 2400mAh i had, these are considerably better and also by visual inspection made better. Protection circuit worked fine on the one i tested but did not botheryet on others.
I had no issues with the seller and i got them reasonably quick with extremely well done packaging. I got them always in a box with alot of padding material. Top notch packaging.
Be sure to make an offer! I buy 4-6 pieces at a time. The more you buy the less you pay per battery. I would never bother to get trustfires saving a dollar or so compared to these.
I can highly reccomend those without any aftertoughts.
I made the few transactions outside ebay. So they probably reduced the cost considering they have not to pay ebay comission fee of 10% that way.
Hope it helps. Communication is somehow engrish but still good enough to understand.
Batteries shipped usually in 1 or max 2days. I always got them in under 2 weeks from departure. As fast as 8 days in one occasion.
Thank you for the detailed response. I just ordered 20 from Manafont so if those don't get shipped, I'll re-order from this guy. In the future, I'll just make the purchase from him. Waiting several months for a product is new to me since anything I've ever ordered is typically on our doorstep in less than 1 week here in the U.S.
I have no rechargeable batteries and 5 flashlights on order which will account for 10. Gives me 10 spares or a reason to order more flashlights. Plus, the price dropped to a cheaper price than DX sells them for when purchasing 20. Does your eBay seller also sell other sizes?
I'm quite confuised by that video. I fly RC planes and have used LiPo batteries since they first came availlable (to us), I've see quite a few videos where a lot less damage was done to a pack before it almost explosivly burst into flames.
I wonder if this pack had been killed by being overdischarged or something.
So in conclusion, is it true that I can not purchase any 14500, 18650 or any other lithium ion batteries anymore from our favorite chinese websites? Everywhere else just robs you on prices of the same products. I want to buy them from DX:(
