“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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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…
I got my first pack and already cleaned them up. Dremil the ends and they are all charged. I can only charge them to 4.2v but that’s fine. All the cells seem just fine. Much better deal than the Ultrafire junk that doesn’t last 40mins in my headlamp. These are good solid cells that are worth at least $4-5 each.
I have another pack coming any day. I didn’t need more cells but I’m glad I got them because they are not used like all my other cells. Sometimes I will put in cell in my headlamp and it will cut out before it should. I keep meaning to mark the cells that under preform but I never do. At least I know all my light purple cells are good.
Don’t know yet… actually I still 10 pairs of new ones NCR B and NCR PF from banggood and wallbuys that I still haven’t use yet.
I usually gave my lights away after I’m tired playing with it… I guess this is the kind of batteries that you want to include them with the lights
I’m planning to build myself a super pack for my bicycle lights for in case of emergency so I could use it for longer run time.
Such as opening Disaster Relief Center where usually there’s no electricity after Disaster struck.
Last year during hurricane Sandy they have to rely heavily on my flashlights to keep the center open at night until Government step in 2 weeks later with the emergency generator :Sp
I got my single solitary pack today. Pulled the cells and 4 of them showed 3.71v and the other 4 showed 3.70v. Lovely. Now I wonder if I should have gotten more.
