[Sold out] 8 Purple Samsung ICR18650-28A $10 shipped

I posted that deal in a separate thread. Maybe someone who has ordered that pack can update it. Original Asus Battery Packs for $10

unfortunately all of the deals only ship to USA…
did none find which can be used from Austria

I wrote the seller to ask what cells are in that battery and he responded much quicker than I anticipated, but didn’t yield any useful information. Here was the response I received-

Thank you for interesting in our item.

This item is 8-cell 63Wh 4400 mAh.

Thank you.

the other batch was 5600 mAh. I think I'll pass on these

5600 mAh : 2 = 2800 mAh
4400mAh : 2 = 2200 mAh

As per HKJ’s review of the purple Samsung. The 2800 mAh is only if it is charged to 4.3V. He tested that and got 2600mAh. Then if it is only charged to 4.2, as most of us would anyway, it tested out at 2400 mAh. So really the other deal for 2200 mAh cells is not that much worse. It is also a very good deal. Worth considering.

Interesting point. The batteries would certainly have long lives after only being charged to 4.2 while I save up for a proper 4.35v charger…

The question is what kind of batteries in that 4400 mAh battery pack?
inside the battery pack is probably the grey 2200 mAh LG batteries :stuck_out_tongue:

Most likely samsung ICR18650 22F or 22P

It’s still not a bad price for those who missed the sale :smiley:

I recieved 8 of these battery packs in the link above. They contain LG 18650 2200mah batteries. A pastel blue color. Labeled LGDAS31865. Not bad for a fairly trusted simple 18650 for $1.25 per battery.

If I didn’t already have imo too many batteries I would grab a pack.

Ya, after grabbing 6 of these packs (48 batteries) I think I'm done buying any more regular 18650. Now all I need are some high drain 10A+ 18650's.

I needed them for customers. They are too cheap to pay for panasonic 18650’s. So they want a cheap cell with their light and I won’t give them cheap ultrafire batteries. At least these solve my problem and I can give them a cheap battery that is reliable and somewhat safe or safer than the cheap ultrafire batteries.

48 batteries would be plenty for personal use. I like the panasonic NCR18650PF for 10A discharge batteries. They seem to give most of my lights a little boost in output brightness.

Again, Id like to thank Siskiyou for posting this thread and to the many others that have contributed their helpful additions. This has certainly proven to be extremely beneficial to most that participated. Good job everyone!!

(that’s how many I bought, so I can vote twice) :wink:

Anyone have any leads on anything similar right now? I’d need 8-12 cells 18650 unprotected.

The same seller still has a listing for another 8 cell Asus pack with slightly lower capacity cells. I think the link is somewhere in this thread or you can just browse his other auctions.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
