Panasonic NCR18650B 2-pack for $14.95 shipped at BG (now also protected button top for $16.50)

+1 I ordered 2 pairs of the protected button tops!
Many Thanks!!!

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get free battery storage box with every pair of batteries like @ ft :stuck_out_tongue:
In for 2 pairs (would buy more but I just spent 100€ for light :stuck_out_tongue: )

Argh! With a Fenix TK75 on the way I thought 3 pairs would be the best option! Banggood is sending me broke!

Do you have to use the “Air Parcel Register (US$1.70 & 7-15 business days)” to guarantee shipping of the batteries?

Or will the free shipping work ok?

I agree. Had to buy the cases as well for the 5 pairs of cells I just purchased. Another great deal.

IIRC, I should now no longer need to keep any of the *fire cells as spares as I now have enough quality cells (Sanyo and Panasonic based) for my lights. I will be doing a big clean up (ie. selling off) of lights, cells and chargers when I get back home!

Oh crap, I also used the free postage option when I ordered

thanks a bunch for the protected buttons :smiley:

I used free postage last time I ordered from BG. Shipped within 12 hours, arrived in 5-8 days (can’t recall exact date, I posted it somewhere).

Since then there has been trouble sending batteries though

i went with registered since thats what they said worked still. if it doesnt go through then paypal always has our backs

For your information (and anyone else wondering) Banggood have free registered mail for orders above $25USD (you can track your package.)

Thats what I did :wink:

Oh another promising avenue. This thread went live on the 17th and it is now the 22nd and nobody complaining of stuck/returned packages. Must be a good sign?

How are 18650 prices now compared to pre-clampdown of a few weeks ago? I only got around to deciding to take the plunge into the world of high powered torches just when the shipping problem started so I don’t know what prices were the week before the chit hit the fan. Just interested.

Just ordered 2 pair of protected button top cells. I have a few pair of the unprotected flat top cells to compare them to from Fasttech.

Ordered 4 of the Protected button-tops .

Fingers crossed .

Thanks , _the_ .

Aren’t these Bang good button tops the same as these:

http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001980/1345500-panasonic-ncr18650b-18650-3-7v-3400mah

Which are the cheaper 3400mah? Just saying this because it says something about internal resistance being less than 66 / 50 Ohms? Why is the resistance mentioned - what is the inference for battery use etc?

Got to say I can’t keep on top of the many differences of the various types :weary:

those are unprotected, button top…

Ooh Gawd! Time to call it a day! :weary:

Just ordered 2 .
Thanks for setting this deal up.

time to get moe batteries… haha. so far i’m satisfied with my order with fasttech and a seller in aliexpress. cheap and fast delivery. the aliexpress seller package reached in 1 weeks time using fedex. awesome
