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 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?
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!
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!
