Imrbatteries has them us domestic for $10 @ piece. If ordered today could probably get them by Sat. Imma wait for the price to come down. 30q and hg2 more then fill my needs. If my light makes 30 more lumens I wouldnt be able to notice it anyway. I see its w great battery, but not $10 to me. When I could have 2 30q or ga
One local dealer put a blog up as to why he is NOT selling any SONY 18650’s……20 minutes later I get an email from IMR batteries saying they are selling them.!
Dang, just got am email from IMRBatteries too. They probably bought qty 1,000 (714 in stock showing) from an Alibaba wholesaler - figured can make a nice profit while they're fresh and hot. They usually FedEX them, but even DHL is super fast.
Get this - I ordered a SKYRC MC3000 charger yesterday (Tuesday) from GB with a coupon code, so paid $88 and they offered free DHL. The package is expected to arrive at my house tomorrow!
I just bought Two,do not really need them as I have several VTC5 and several LG HG2!
Funny, guess not so bad for $9 each shipped from the Netherlands - got an email today they are finally going to ship them today, not "shipped" but gonna ship.... Weird.
Wow!! 2 days from China?!! Down to 702 VTC6 [From IMR] batteries left!
Yea, based on DHL tracking, it's on schedule. Go figure - GearBest. Who would have thought? It's gonna easily beat my 3 other GB orders in shipping now - must be available for a min amount of the order?
Dang again, down to 696. Hot cakes, I tell ya, hot cakes! Update: 693
Its possible quickest I had was 3 days and it was with ems. They shipped it was in the states like 16 hours. Flew right through customs in like two hours and was on its way. I guess ems works differently. Mail had already ran for the day and mail lady came back with it
Depends what you order as well. I asked about quicker shipping for batteries and they said they only can ship lithium batteries one method
I ordered 2 for now, At $10 each these won’t be used on a regular basis, only for testing the limits of the mods…
682 in stock now
At this rate I highly doubt it will last through the week…
Just got home from my hike w/ Capo,they sold 90 batteries in 1.5 hours! 594 now!!
I forgot about this. I hope it does not hold true with mine.
VEN is from England and on CPF.
Still waiting for my battery man to get the vtc6 anyway, as they are grade B right now(unknown age/storage conditions i am led to believe). So he would not buy any from his HK source/warehouse.
As long as there at there original voltage prbsblt be just fine. You know a difference in grade a and b can be like 30mah difference from manufacturing specs. The cells are fairly new I believe they couldn’t have been stored that long to really make a difference. I have some old sony laptop pulls with at least several hundred cycles that just won’t die. Still crank out 5 amps and maybe a 150-200mah capacity loss from original. I will give Sony that. They make a solid battery
Lately , i have seen a big difference in amp draw , from 30Q (from different batch each one ) .
Older 30Q’s give 250-300mA more , compared to newer 30Q’s , in the same setup .
I have 4 coming my way , so i will make a little comparison when they are here.
They have 523 right now, they had 200 more 12 hours ago.
I picked up a couple as I didn’t have any…. and it sounds like they will be very difficult to get.
Yeah this is what I am thinking too. I can get 4 30q’s for about 17 bucks.
With good free advertising here and other forums it is no wonder they will sell out.
Tesla will have on completion the world’s largest battery manufacturing plant near Reno, Nevada, and it will be in NASA’s own backyard.
True!!! Down to 435! They had 714 When I bought mine last night @ 7pm! They should donate batteries to us for this FREE advertizing!
Maybe it will bring american lithium battery prices down when its operational. If the Chinese can sell to the us in bulk at 1-2$ . maybe wishful thinking but hopefully it will make prices lower. I think its interesting no one has biiolt that plant sooner. Isn’t silver run nv or whatever it’s called the largest deposit of lithium salts in the world? Lithium only forms where volcano’s were st some point
