Fasttech Deals + Interesting new products - discussion thread

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.

I ordered 6x Samsung 25R cells the middle of July. got them yesterday in the US.

:bigsmile:

wow.. pretty crazy...

I ordered 1 battery at GB and 1 battery at BG, hopefully they will arrive faster than that.

this looks like a nice simple and cheap Titanium light.. although the description doesnt say its Titanium

and pity its a 16340 lights .

$28

What makes you think its Ti (other than the name)? It lists “Al alloy”. I think they just called it that cause its a clone. I do like it tho and it looks like it can be fitted with a metal tail button, plus the centering ring is the good kind but at $30 it’s to much for what you get.

Reminds me Palight V5, it has some similarities in body design, same led spacer, same weird mode order - turbo stuck between blinkies.

If others got their batteries after five months then I think we’ll all get our orders in due time. :slight_smile:

Oh that’s good to know! :open_mouth:

If my calculations are correct, it arrived after 149 days. A day more and it would have took exactly 150 days or five months. :bigsmile:

So I guess the best thing to do is buy way ahead if you perceive that you’ll need these cells five months after. :~

Has anyone logged in to Fasttech recently? There’s a security check and I cant go through. :frowning:

In a 150 days, the product is already a generation behind!

I had some batteries arrive last week 34 days after shipping via their surface mail option

The batteries I ordered on 29th June arrived 20th August. Shipped surface mail, so not too bad in the circumstances.

Nice idea for a thread ChibiM. :crown: (where’s the thumbs up emoticon)?
