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

Thanks for the heads up…ordered one pack. How easy are they to open up?

Most packs are pretty easy. There is no “correct” way to do it but there are some wrong ways. Don’t just bash them because the protective covers on the cells can be ripped fairly easily. General I pry open at the seem and proceed to snap parts of the hard plastic off as I go.

Thanks Siskiyou, I picked up one pack.

1 left...

Yeah, I just bought 4 more.

I hate you people.

Tom, this my first battery pack. My question is are the batteries connected together with welded tabs? If so, are they easily removed without damage. Do you dremel them off, or just leave them on cutting away as much as possible?

I got one…pretty sweet deal!

Just trim them if you want more height, a la mini-button, or grab the tab with needle-nose pliers and roll it off like opening a can of sardines with a key. (Do they still make those?) Then gently file down any sharp bits.

Thanks man, much appreciated :)

1 Pack Left!!!!!! Who's gonna get it!!

The convex side of a pair of diagonal cutters is good for burnishing down the edges if you leave some tab on the positive end.

I usually just twist back and carefully with a pair of needle nose pliers. Then I clean up the leftover weld with my dremel very carefully. You can also use a file to smooth but takes longer

Maybe he adds more.

My pack came in today in nice ASUS retail box & padded envelope w/April 2011 sticker. All good.
I happen to be using the cells for a project that I’ll be making a 3S2P pack for & these will be perfect & are of course a great deal.

darm. just sold out, the kicker is I have a asus UL50V that I pulled out of the trash because the battery pack wasn’t working right.

I hate the BLF kiss of death. harumph.

Finally sold out.
I successfully resisted! :party:

People have been wondering why I’ve been looking a little odd though. :Sp
