good batteries at an excellent price…it could be the best deal of the year!
I need more of these cases to hold them, with 2 more pack coming my way 
Lol, that's what I thought after opening the first in a little over 45 minutes. I looked at the other 5 packs I had and said wt-f!!! Actually was very tired and thinking I should have just stuck with my regular brand new panasonics I had ordered previously, instead of opening these packs. That's why I created that guide a few pages back trying to help out whoever else was having problems opening up these Acer packs, which by long and far, were the hardest laptop packs I ever opened.
Does anyone ever wonder where these sellers get these stuff?
For $10, probably half covers shipping. So - $5 gross per piece of original Asus battery pack? That means the item cost less than that?
Doesn’t make sense to me.
He had a bunch of Asus laptops as well. All of it was likely purchased in a single lot. Batteries were too old for Asus to sell retail anymore for over $100 so they were wholesaled off with a bunch of older Asus laptops.
Don’t look at it as he got those batteries less that $5. He purchased that whole lot for $xx and plans on making profit off the laptops. What he got out of this sale and the BLF feeding frenzy was cash flow. 163 packs @ $10 = $16,300 in cash flow (in 2 days!) to spend on another inventory lot he wants. This was one happy seller.
Anyway I was pleased to see these batteries go to hobbyists rather than profiteering like these batteries.
I think the math is $1600 siskiyou!
Yeah, the math may be less but the principle is still similar. Probably there is a production run of these batteries, x 100,000 in 2011 in anticipation of a certain number of laptops currently being sold, and also banking on a certain number in the future to be made needing packs. Then the manufacturer changes some detail, the laptops dont sell as well as expected, and they end up with a large volume of extra packs. Someone realizes they are now 3 years old and no new laptops are currently being made which are using the exact same pack connector and the current laptops are now too old and not selling, so they decide to liquidate their holdings of their remaining stock. Maybe this guy was an independent stocker of them, or bought a portion of the liquidated ones, or is a hired reseller, or a forgotten warehouse stock, or a bankrupt company’s liquidation but there are many plausible explanations.
Yup 
That’s why your a demigod!
Ships to: United States
Noooo! Why it’s only for USA :( :(
This was so hard to open that as I was attempting mine, it was actually comforting to know that I had only ordered 2!
BTW, how often is it that a deal that seems too good to be true actually turns out to be true?
Wish I had ordered an extra pack. Duhh
That guy could at least remove the adhesive and file down the burrs before selling them. 
The flat-rate box mine shipped in cost $12.35, same box to Europe is ~$85. Not even considering the hassles of international Li-ion shipping regulations.
lol… nothing much to complain except I can’t get more of these for the price.
Sure… it draw blood from my finger, but it’s definitely worth it :bigsmile:
Note that this is a 4.30V cell, not 4.35V.
I just got an Xtar SP1 which has a 4.35V setting. In 3 tries it has terminated at 4.30V every time. YMMV.

I got my first packs, ordered Apr.3 delivered Apr.5. 
Is that the actual shipping cost to you? How and where did you get the number? $10 does not even pay the shipping?
Thanks for the correction.
I'll have mine tomorrow. I'm going to use the grinder method to open it
Shipping was free but AFAIK, that's the cost of a medium flat-rate box sent domestically. See www.usps.com/
If commercial shippers have a way to send it cheaper, I don't know about it, but it's possible. 
SP1 charged a 4th cell to 4.30V on the nose.
“Is that the actual shipping cost to you?” should have been the cost to your “location”.
So according to usps, shipping cost alone is more than the selling price, and that means the seller lost money! There’s got to be a flaw with this calculation.
Yeah there are some bulk commercial shipping rates available, doubt they lost money on it.
