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
whoa…. 163 sold! good thing I grabbed 7 of them J)
Quite the feeding frenzy & probably not limited to BLFers. I need the one pack I bought but maybe someone else here has a spare they could sell to you.
I just checked the tracking on my order and it shows “out for delivery”. Then the doorbell rings and I’m thinking, “It’s the mail man with my package!”
I run down the stairs to the front door, where I am greeted by a gentleman named Mr. Menard who would like me to join the Jehovah church. :~
And no, he did not have my batteries.
Fedex just delivered a large box in perfect condition. The packs arrived neatly packaged in 10 OEM Asus boxes with their factory seals intact (Asus tape oval). Its to bad the laptops for these packs were from 2009 vintage or Id be looking for an old beater to use with all these packs… maybe (but probably not). 
so you get fedEx and the rest of us get USPS. I feel scroogled!
I get that a lot. The seller appears to have shipped using the most economical carrier to my address. Fedex is often the cheapest for me… not to mention that their level of service is usually far superior to their competition.
No idea how I managed to miss this thread… 
I’m almost out of extra 18650 cells.
Thanks for this great deal.I just finished opening up the first of several packs and this is a very difficult pack to open.The most difficult one I have encountered so far.All 8 cells measured 3.6 volts.I will charge them up and check capacity in the next few days.
Got mine today! Ill crack em open tomorrow.
please make and show us some pictures…
