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.
The shipping cost calculation reminds me how I can order items from China for a dollar or two that includes shipping cost to US.
I’m sure its not that good though, Chinese sellers have it cheaper than our businesses here to send post, which is pretty absurd when you think about it 
Mine came today came apart easier than I thought it would judging from some of the comments. Next step is to deburr the contacts and clean off the tape and glue. BTW, all the cells measure 3.7 volts. All I can say is "What a freaking good deal!!!"
The same seller has THESE original asus battery packs for sale. Maybe someone could figure out the capacity of these cells for us. Under description 8-cell 63Wh 4400 mAh. Might be worth taking a chance on these for $9 dollars shipped
Its Dremel Time . . . :party:
Still waiting for that last sold battery pack to arrive. Took a bit of time to ship… hmmm maybe he had to source another stack of 163 batteries to fill the last order.
Looks Good… I came so close to hitting the Buy Button for a couple. Still not sure i wont. :weary:
I am not sure how you do the math to figure out which cells are inside. Since they are original packs OEM you can be sure they will be quality japanese or korean batteries.
I guess I will create another post for these new packs I discovered
Seller did not give voltage, but usually 8 cell packs have 2 parallel banks so 2200mAh cells. Maybe less for most of us with our chargers if they are 4.3v cells…
A rule of thumb is to divide the packs rating by 2 if it is 6 or 8 cells, by 3 if 9 cells.
Thanks!
what about a Post where you sum up some Infos about pulling cells from Laptop batteries?
the Math - good manufacturers - how to open them …
maybe a list which cells has been found in which battery
and so on…
