Yep, the MAP mafia sucks dick. I got the first one for a really good price. The second cost me more from the same USA seller because he was paranoid he would lose his authorized dealer status. Oh well. That said, I will always shop for the best price and service regardless of the bullshit MAP enforcing manufactures! Stand together my friends and say no to MAP!!!!!
Sometime ago there was a thread where members showcased their collections. One member filled a 3 or 4 shelves corner cabinet. That may rival this collection.
Atbglenn, are those 4 batteries the ones from the Asus pack that Crank posted a link to? Seems like every time I look into one of these pulls the seller is out of that model but they show in stock for $9.99 so it must be a different one…?
It's the pull from the $9.99 8 cell Asus battery pack everyone is talking about. I should have bought more, but this was the first time I ever bought a laptop battery pack to cannibalize for the 18650 cells. Turned out way better than I expected
I just ran one of these salvaged Samsung ICR18650-28A cells through my West Mountain CBA-II battery analyzer. With a fixed 2A discharge rate, I got 2.33 Ah, 8.26Wh.
I charged the cell on my Efest Luc V4 charger to about 4.2V.
My measurement is right in line with HKJs review , so these cells are still operating at pretty much 100% of their original capacity.
before I grabbed these I snagged 4 packs for 40$ from the original thread last year . the difference was the other pack was a 6 cell pack total was 1.66 per cell while these were 1.25 prior the best deal was probably the reverand jim panasonic 2200 mah for 1.75 .
I didn't need more of these .... but at this price the only mistake is not buying more than you need.
