[Sold out] 8 Purple Samsung ICR18650-28A $10 shipped

I feel like I should just go all out, and get 5 more packs, for a total of 10 packs and be good for the next few years. Not even sure what I can do with the 5 packs/40cells I ordered already, besides use about 16 of those cells to build a nice battery pack. As for the other 24 cells, I guess as backups to all my lights that already have all panasonic 3400mah cells in them. I actually feel cheated buying the panasonic 3400 about 6 months ago, even though I paid around $80 for only 10 of them. For the same $80 I could have 64 of these samsung cells. Yeeeesh!!! I need to stop thinking about it like that!

It seems very rare that a deal like this ever comes around!

Why buy more cells that you cant use? Buy more lights instead. :bigsmile: The 80 I just got will be gone in less than a year.

Good point. When I start seeing more SRK's go for $10 I sure will!!! That's the equivalent of about what these batteries are costing me! Heck, the 4 panasonic 3400 in my SRK cost more than my SRK did! Not too many lights have peaked my interest lately. Got my eyes set on a Sunwayman D40A that doesn't even take 18650's lol, but I have ton's of Eneloop XX and regular Eneloops with nothing to put them in!

I guess I could always buy this 10 x 18650 Power Bank DIY Components with Dual USB Output for $17.40 with all the extra batteries I will have. Never know when you need some juice!

If only they were 4.35v.
4.35 cc/cv charger chips are more available.

only USA…

Sorry Jerommel, looks like your hand job won't be touching none of these batteries!

They wouldn’t fit anyway… :wink:
It’s just a little frustrating sometimes, that there are no such deals for the Divided States of Europe :stuck_out_tongue:

I couldn’t resist. Just ordered one. Didn’t bite on this last Night but saw it was still available this morning. These will be perfect with the i4 I have that overcharges to 4.25 to 4.3. Thx OP!

sigh… I should stay away from my computer… just ordered another one… my wallet is thinner $50 in less than 8 hr :weary:
that’s mean I will have to buy more of these battery holder case to build battery pack for my bike lights … more money :_(

lucky you with your 4.3v super-saiyan i4, I have never got my i4 v2 to ever get a battery to 4.3v, but always gets them to exactly 4.23-4.25v...

That being said, I ordered 1 more for 6 total, as when this deal runs out, it looks like we may never see it again! 22 hours left. I set, done ordering for good now!

I combined 3 of those packs (in parallel) last year for my SRK bike light. Just be aware that after loading fresh cells, they might require a momentary input voltage through the 2 wires to reset the protection circuit before you can use them each time. I charged my cells in the cradles so it wasnt a problem.

Daylighter, do they make a 8x18650 8.4V battery holder like you linked? And is that pack compatible with this 5.5mmx2.1mm plug for both powering the bike light and recharging the battery pack?

not that I’m aware of… just wire 4 of those together back to back it should give you more than enough power until dawn :wink:

Oh dear, Oh dear.

I about choked on my breakfast when I read this and saw how many have sold… I sincerely hope he wanted to move this inventory because almost 3x the amount of packs have sold in the last 12 hours from what he sold in the previous 4 days of the sale.

In retrospect I probably should have e-mailed the vendor before posting…

Why would you ever wanna do that? The vendor might try to take advantage of us BLF'ers if he knew beforehand. He would not have had the sale if he didn't want to move the product!

Ordered one, thanx!!

There are 3 ghostly stamps visible beneath the wrapper.

Does not seem to jive with Ubehebe’s decryption, but perhaps someone can interpret?

4 of those back to back is $40+, or would I be better just soldering and using this

Protection Circuit Module (PCM) with Equilibrium Function for 7.4V Li-Ion Battery Pack

with shipping it only comes to $22 and it would also BALANCE the batteries. Would this not be better for building a 16x18650 battery pack? Can that PCM with equilibrium even handle 16x18650 wired to it?

I was a small business owner too. Sometimes you put things on sale at a loss to get people in the store where they will also buy regularly priced merchandise… But this is more brick and mortar store mentality.

I don’t think he would taken advantage of anyone. He has a lot of ASUS stuff and more than likely just needed to move this inventory. I’m just empathizing for when he runs out of shipping supplies this morning!

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. I'm sure Fedex will provide him with all the shipping supplies he needs!
