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?
No idea. I believe i saw just those.
Oh no. My order from Lightake shipped today and it says hkpost. I hope they make it.
I'm pretty sure they are just asking for correct labeling .
shelf life on lithium ion is 3 years so stocking up is a really bad idea .
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.
In the description, it says that "The main problem was worn dampers in the blade grips."
I just ordered one of those Hi-Max 18650s, let's see how it is in the KD C8 XM-L. :) Is there a review topic for these yet?
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:(
Not as far as I can tell - within the last four weeks, I've received 4 18650's from DX, in two separate packages, and an order from another HK supplier containing 3 26650 Enerland cells. All came via normal HK post.
I've also received a few orders containing 2 cell LiPo batteries in the last couple of months, via HK post. (The contents were in all cases accurately described on the customs declaration labels, in case anybody was wondering).
I have ordered some too.
I'm not so sure. I've recieved a couple of parcels in the past few weeks including LiPo batteries marked "Air Mail" via HK Post. Maybe HK Post are relying on the integrity of HK dealers. 
*************** ACLARATION ****************
The chinese vendors are shipping Li-ion batteries VIA CHINA POST.
The only postal service that have denied the chance to ship Li-ion batts is Honk Kong Post, so all the li-ion batts will be shipped via Chinapost until Chinapost does the same as HK post.
*******************************************
No, mine all came by air mail.
Cheers
No, all mine came by Hong Kong Post, via air mail.
Cheers
If they came via HK post was maybe because the package was left in HKP office before the regulations.....
I just ordered 2 18650s from Manafont and selected registered air mail..they left hkpost yesterday..
This is great news! I shall order more batteries now:) Thanks everyone!
Have you had a problem with getting batteries shipped recently, or are you just assuming what might happen?
I'm expecting mine to arrive by airmail. I will post when they arrive
No one experianced any delays in shipping All my batteries came via airmail .. fear, intimidation and rumor .
like yelling fire in a theater. the only thing that was being said was that they demanded that correct labeling be put on the packaging since obviously people weren't listing that they were lithium bateries ...How that ever turned into there will be no more Lion batteries shipped from china ever again is on the edge of just damn skippy .wasn't true isn't true and never will be true .
