Buy now or cry later
Free shipping in the USA
I'd really like to get them but it seems I'll probably want that button on there 
Ordered!...I almost ordered the TF Flames from Dino this morning that are on sale, glad I didn't so I can get this deal instead :) Thanks!
The guy has sanyo eneloops 6@$12.99 and tenergy D 10,000ma 4@14.99 delivered!
Are Tenergys as good as the Trustfires?
These are good. I received 10 from this seller. Four on the first order and four on the second...
That equals 8 right.
He sent me two replacements for one that was truly DOA.
I will say this about the cells I received, very depleted. Three had to be revived. Thin/too tight wrapping at the PCB area to the point where some if not handled carefully will split open.
They have tested at or above mAh rating. I have not had time to run these thru tests, but the first couple of them took 2000+ mAh on initial charge(Turnigy Charger). These (before charged) cells were @ low 3.7xV
Have at these if in the US looking for protected 18650.
Edit: If you are in the US @$14.99 shipped for four cells these beat the TF flame gamble.
I'm a gambler and my stack is just a bit higher :)
Fill me on in the "TF Flame gamble" please. I was going to order a set of the TF Flames because of their sale price right now from Dino, in addition to these 4 Tenergy that I ordered from this thread. Can you explain what you mean by the gamble? Don't want to order the Flames if they might be bad!

When I used the word "gamble" it was not to say there was anything wrong with TF flames, in fact they are quite good. It has been reported from DX at least that from batch to batch cells tend to be a little different in one way or another. I ordered some when they first came out then some more some time later and the newer ones were a little bigger.
I have never had any but there was an ebay seller selling some crummy one a while ago. So between varying quality and possible fakes I called it a gamble, nothing wrong with them in my exp.
There are many choices in that price range Xtar 2600, Hi-Max 2600. Heck these could be called a gamble too. Some people got 1 in 4 bad, But that can happen with anything.
So take that as me walking back my use of the term just a bit :)
EDIT: Yes that is a very good price for the TF flames from DD, in fact there are people here that can report on them I believe
EDIT2: Also keep in mind that these are flattop batteries. They may not work in a light without a spring on the + side

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for clearing that up for me!
Received my 4 Tenergys today from this thread.
Voltages were
3.67
3.72
3.72
3.64
Let me clear this one up since it's not clear to a lot of people who these people are OR where these batteries and lights came from ..
This IS the Battery Junction warehouse fire insurance deal .. this company buys insurance claims .. had you been crafty you could have bought great flashlights at pretty seriously discounted prices when they first hit ebay with this stuff ..At this point most of all they have left is just the end of the batteries .. lots and lots of batteries and some odd parts and peices ..All the good lights were sold about this time last year .. And the good stuff moved very fast ..they were pleased and quite surprised how well flashlights sold .... they are one of the few out there that think lithium ion bursting into flames is a good thing .... their prices are generally pretty good on everything (with a few exceptions)
That said ....... Diane is a very helpful woman and they ship like lightning in the United States .. (very fastshipping )
You can buy with 100% confidence that they will make anything right and do it speedily ..
one of the nicest companies i've ever had the privilage to deal with .
I recommend them highly ..
Boaz :P
Thanks for that review :)
I paid for mine Wednesday night, they shipped Thursday, and I received them today (Saturday). Though TN to NC isn't the longest of trips for USPS, i was still happy with the quick delivery.
Hi, I just ordered a four-pack so I wouldn't miss out.
Will these work well in the UF-2100? I think this light is direct drive on high. These batteries won't hurt the light will they?
I'm in for two four packs. Boaz' story pushed me over the edge.
I also have two of these portable power supplies powered by four 18650s in the mail. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270829075106&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
Yes, they work perfectly fine. They pull 3.22A fresh off the charger. They also fit in my Xtar WP2 charger , just If anyone was curious.
Hi
Thank you for filling in the blanks. My limited dealings and emailing with them have been very good.
Interesting little power supplies ...but note ***that they ask for unprotected cells or it will burn up the power supply ...
I recommend rev. jims panasonic batteries if you're U.S. and looking for unprotected cells .
Yeah, I saw that about the unprotected cells. I thought about it for awhile then called BS. I can't think of a reason it would be a problem. It even says 1-4 18650s. So even if one of the cells trips its protection it should keep working. I think they are just covering their ass for some reason. Maybe some protected are physically too big or something. I could be completely wrong though.
After going back to the site, I think I kind of messed up. I had been following a thread over at cpf that was about 18650 power supplies and ebay started selling 4x18650 with a 2s2p configuration. I ordered these thinking they were also 2s2p. But after looking at the specs a little closer I see this uses 4p which would use a boost circuit. I am thinking a buck circuit would be more efficient. Oh well, they should be something to mess around with.
+1 on Rev Jim cells for unprotected 18650
