Thank you for your interest and for your questions.
We will definitely be adding more products to our line-up.The batteries you’ve mentioned are under consideration but there hasn’t been enough interest expressed (so far) to indicate that we could meet Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for those.
We will be announcing some excellent product additions but would rather not do so prematurely.
By the way, some should be very welcome surprises – perhaps including new product categories – not simply batteries!
I’ll backup Kumabear on this. I was the transportation to pickup these desktops with Kumabear this morning in downtown Boston but the pickup is temporarily delayed. The financial firm donating the used PC’s is requiring and wants positive proof that the HDD are either destroyed or erased to military standards , DOD standards with certification, and I don’t blame the company for this requirement. Kumabear has the means to erase this data per DOD standards, just a minor setback. Destroying the HDD would add a extra cost to refurbish these unit for use.
I’m also a certified volunteer Special Olympics coach myself for the past 6 years.

how many hard drives are you talking about? i have a bonded data destruction co that could provide a receipt for the drives if not too many were involved… they are shredded/
I also ordered late last night and have not heard back. However, I completely understand and will wait patiently! Really looking forward to the service people are talking about here!
I was inspired to write a post detailing my experience with ordering from KumaBear. My cells were shipped out the next day and I received them 3 days after ordering. they are performing flawlessly. (14500s) What stood out was how carefully they were packaged. The USPS priority mail box was reinforced with packing tape and the cells and cases were covered in 2 layers of bubble wrap.
The cells are very competitively priced. Yes I know you can get similar cells at a few cents cheaper shipped from China, but knowing I will get them in only a couple days and having confidence in there being a QUALITY as advertised cell AND protection circuit makes the purchase a no brainier.
Correct EDIT: not the wide button top, they have the narrow button top, sorry for the mistake, PM sent to ninja guy.
Super batteries, great service, quick shipping, super secure packaging, free cases, only 2 or 3 days shipping time, what more could you ask for in a battery and company. Thanks for the great product Bob.
I’m just getting around to trying the 14500s from my Dec order. Do you have any charge current data? I searched for a data sheet but couldn’t find anything online. Since they are 750 mAhr, can we use 750 mA as max charge current?
I will say these KeepPower 3400mah 18650 protected batteries are a super nice wrapped quality battery. The wrapping is some of the best I have seen. I received 6 of them from Bob last week. And Bob seems to be a very nice guy.
