Just to let everyone know, I have just gotten more of these in and have some ready to go.
I’m sure there are others outside the US who are also interested in this hence the question: is it possible for you to ship these internationally and in what quantity?
Yes I will ship out of the country for exact shipping costs. I have 150 for sale right now.
Thanks, I was thinking along the lines of postage regulations though.
When I bought my Panasonics and King Kongs from Richard at Mountain Electronics he had to pack them in a host to ship them, for this he used a very cheap plastic torch just to put the batteries in ($1 each host)
Only problem I had was he marked them “Dangerous items” so they got stopped by customs and I had to pay VAT of £4.20 AND “Handling fee” (to post office for sorting VAT fee out) for £8 so my King Kongs became quite expensive 
How do these stack up against my budget Trust fire flames? might be worth grabbing some.
Richard/RMM has a proper business to run, he has to follow the regulations for exporting goods. Sending a package privately is a different matter. I received a bunch of these cells from 18sixfifty, shipped to Sweden. Took about one week. No issues for me, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
Howdy, fireblade. I’ll put them into other laptop battery cases that I have, that will work like a proper battery case, that should handle any customs issue if it by chance gets checked. That should work fine for shipping. Plus I am just an average Joe shipping you a “gift”. If they give me a rough time about it, no big deal. Richard on the other hand could be in trouble because he is a business.
These are a very high quality battery with fairly high amps. They will make any direct drive light you have much brighter than your trustfires. The flames are good batteries IF they are legit ones (still not as high amp as these), but I haven’t seen any legit ones in a long time so the ones you have are likely to be just a standard Chinese 18650, which is ok for some applications but nothing like the quality of good Japanese cells like these.
My Trustfire Flames were from DX.com they are the 2400mah versions , according to my Opus BT-C3100 they come in at 2418,2300 and 2416 I have had them a while they seem ok tbh but I have noticed that the Panasonic 3400mah I got from Richard are brighter in my Zeusray zoomies . Be nice if they give a good boost for my warrior, I am waiting for a new driver to replace the one I blew from RIC_CN and some XP-L Noctigon’s from Intl-outdoor then I’ll resistor mod it and maybe de-dome the XP-L’s
How much shipping be to the UK for 10?
And do you add a solder blob on top?
Thanks
I know Richard has a business to run and I don’t begrudge the way he packaged them , he has given very good service every time I have used his store
I don’t mind (well I do a bit) paying the VAT of 20% it’s just a pain how the Post Office stick £8 “Handling fee” on every package they stop.
Paul and John said it best:
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman :)
Just letting you guys know I shipped out the batteries that were paid for yesterday. My internet is still very limited so if it takes a bit for me to get back to you that is it.
For anyone who has paid your batteries are on the way.
I have more of these ready to go.
If you paid over the weekend or last Friday your batteries are on the way.
I still have a bunch more of these is anyone else is interested.
Hi can you pm me a quote for 5 batteries. thx Im in australia
How much for 10 or 15 of them with Shipping to Ontario, Canada ?
Aloha,
I’ll take 15 please,
pm sent.
Much mahalos!
Hi!
I’m interested in 10 pcs. PM sent.
Hi, first post here. I’m in for 15 for $20. (If you have them)
My last batch of 24 batteries came in fast and well-packed. I measured capacity (discharge) from 4V at 1950-2050 mAh, so capacity will be around 2300 when fully charged. Excellent batteries for the price! I think I may have to get a few more.
Glad you like them, I’m pretty impressed with them as well. Sanyo rates these as 2600mah but I didn’t want to put that on the listing because I know they will not be that high. Also a discharge test from 4v is what I normally do too. It’s a good way of seeing what you will likely be actually using and for a 2,000 useable mAh at $1 each plus shipping for heavy duty fairly high amp cells it’s really hard to beat. Even with shipping to Canada you are at less than $2 a cell and that is a steal. Fast tech has the same batteries for 2 for $10 plus shipping! Your 24 cells would be about $135 from them.

I totally agree with you 18sixfifty that these 18650 cells are a good deal. I am happy with the eight I purchased from you.
But I just want to point out that FastTech does NOT charge for shipping, so your math is a little off. But still a great deal!
