Interesting, now Sanyo using same series as Panasonic. Will be confusing :smiley:

Panasonic bought at least part of sanyo

Yes, Sanyo is subsidiary of Panasonic now.
They can using one brand (like eneloop), two brands using same line of series rather confusing before we get use to it.

All available options for shipping batteries from FT:

I got one option here in the US!

Same one for Aus too.

Lucky you guys, all those nice cells for cheap $ :frowning:

Be ready for a 3-5 month wait.
I see more people screaming in FT forum in my crystall ball.

I’m more interested in what laptop packs those will come in! :smiley:

does anyone know what kind of batteries they are? I mean if they can handle high amps?

My guess is that they’ll be in 8-cell packs rated ~90-95Wh, or 6 cell packs rated ~70Wh. I kind of doubt they’d put them in 100Wh 9 cell packs.

Reading around after doing a search it looks like the B “F”’s are just B’s with a new graphite + SiO anode instead of just graphite in the 18650B.

Data sheet seems to indicate that the F is almost exactly the same and may hold a tiny bit higher voltage during discharge at normal temperatures with the difference increasing as the temperature drops. I’ll wait for someone to test these first but it looks like a minor update/tweak.

My Samsung INR18650-29Es from Fastech has been in transit for 78 days. At least I feel reassured knowing that some got their batteries after 5 months. :~

I have switched over to BG as my main source now. My patient limit for online purchase is about 45 days .

Its a shame that it has come to this with batteries from FT as they had some of the best prices. I have only had one shipment out of 5 get through in about the last eight months and hopefully the one on the water now gets through. Its been six weeks to now so far.

Time to start scouting the Best Buys and Fry's to see what current gen notebooks that might house these beasts.

I got them last friday, ordered 5/23 :smiley:

The pair of King Kongs I ordered from FT on the 13th of August arrived this morning,so just over 2 months to Europe. .By sea,Europe is about as far from China as you can get.I did not expect it to get here any quicker.
