Where to get genuine Panasonic 3400mAh 18650?

that’s a much better option for your needs, take a look at mountain electronics to see more options, if you like

mountain electonics has a nice selection of higher quality cells, prices are decent too, but seems there are no options to delivery in EU, US only.

yes, sorry, i forgot to check your location…. are you interested of getting them from china, or you need them sooner than 1,5 months?

I don’t “need” them at all, I want them :slight_smile: it’s a hobby. It would be simpler and probably cheaper if I just bought a new Bosch screwdriver :slight_smile:

So - no, I don’t need to have them urgently, I can wait for china delivery.

Any suggestions where to get genuine ncr18650pf /based/ cells?

it’s not an easy task to find high drain protected cells with a circuit capable if providing more than 7 amps without tripping
if you really need protected and need that current, I can’t tell you any cell other than that one you linked, maybe other have an idea, i don’t, sorry

I think you misunderstood - I’d like to buy unprotected or protected NCR18650PF based cells, if they’re protected I can remove the protection if it will be tripping.

I’m only asking where to buy genuine NCR18650PF cells.

sorry again. you can find them in fast tech, but shipping will be slow

I have ordered a few batches, and they are solid! Most of my gear is loaded with them and they have been working well for months.

Nice price, 10 cells are $17.5, but the shipping is also additional $17 for me (Sweden). Have you had a chance to test their capacity? i can’t find a review of those cells, only 2600mAh version comes up. Perhaps these are old 2600 cells which lost their capacity so they are now being sold as 2000mAh ? :slight_smile:

I have not tested them. They look identical to the laptop pulls I have found in the past. I forgot to test the voltage on the last batch I bought. If I recall my first batch they were around 3.8 volts when I got them (that depends on the meter you use too, lol). I can say that they took about a hour or so to fully charge up on the I4.

If all you’re interested in are 15A pulses, the Panasonic NCR18650BD might be a better choice. Maximum current may not be as high as the VTC5 - only 10A maximum continuous and 15A pulse (enough for your needs). But with 3200mAH, capacity is quite a bit higher - almost as high as the NCR18650B.

Ordered 2 pc of NCR18650PF 2900mAh from Fasttech. Should arrive by Christmas :slight_smile:

Or maybe Easter?

C’mon now, Fasttech isn’t that bad for shipping, and after all its free. :wink: I have never ordered batteries from them though.

Yes, they are that bad. You just don’t realize because you haven’t ordered batteries. Batteries will not arrive in under 2 months.

Agree with dangerous.
Fasttech’s shipping is not bad provided your order are not batteries.

I just got 4 NCR18650B from BangGood, on sale for $11.99 probably because there is a newer model. I cycled two of them on my LiitoKala charger. It measured 3.2 Ah each, at 0.5 amp. discharge, so they still sell real ones.

Yeah, seconded. Got a 2-pack of protected Bs, worked like a charm, seem to last forever on a charge.
