Man these were cheap. Great for doing dimensional testing and keeping around as spares.
Now, if only we could get protected cells this cheap.
Shipping is $20 for 10 and $25 shipping for 20 of them.
Shipping for you is $20 for 10 $25 for 20 and $30 for 30.
I have one package of batteries going out tomorrow and everyone else’s has shipped. I do have more of these ready to go as well.
Also I am shipping overseas and have posted a general guideline for prices. Please PM me for exact prices.
I sent a pm to the cerial guy a couple days ago as I only need a couple cells to play with, but if I don’t here from him soon I’d like to buy a few, maybe 5 to suit the shipping.
Howdy, I’m sure CK will get back to you. He is a busy guy but he is a very good guy too.
My eighteen Sanyo Blue tops finally arrived yesterday noon - 45 days after 18sixfifty sent it to me. 
What I got was a box with the items inside protected by foam padding so no matter how the package was dropped or thrown or ‘maltreated’ while in transit, I was guaranteed that my cells are unscathed. 
‘Concealing’ the lithium ion cells inside these ‘battery packs’ seem to be effective in ‘fooling’ the courier personnel because I received them despite the prohibitions.
Six cells are neatly ‘hidden’ inside each ‘battery pack’. What I got were Sanyo UR18650FMs.
My first instinct after holding the cells were to get its readings. All the cells ranged from 4.13 to 4.18 volts. They seem to hold the voltage well even after 45 days in transit. Here are the first four cells attached to my BT-C3100 for its capacity testing.
So far I have tested twelve cells and they averaged 2069 mAh. The lowest was 1663 mAh and the highest was 2494 mAh. For the price, this is a great deal indeed! And thank you 18sixfifty for these Sanyos! :bigsmile:
Thanks Nightbird95 for the report. Since they took 45 days I have to assume that they did in fact get held and checked by customs. That is the longest than anyone has reported that they took to arrive. Then again you are a long ways away.
The official rule is no more than three packs in one box and they must be in their original packaging. I say it’s close enough. It’s actually safer in a way because they ship this way and they are no longer wired together in series. Much less chance that they would short if the box got smashed. This is how I’m shipping them overseas. I will probably be doing all US packages the same way as well, but I worry about the US ones a lot less with them only being a few days in shipping. Still I package them so they can’t possibly short out against each other. That is by far the biggest danger.
Thanks again and I’m glad you like your batteries.
When my parcels arrive Manila, it takes about 21 days for them to arrive at my place so it only took 24 days for my Sanyos to get to my country. My Eagle Eye X6 from Bangood and my Courui Big Head from GearBest arrived Manila (per tracking) on 17Nov and 24Nov respectively and I haven’t got any of them yet.
I just hope these rules won’t change for the worse by the time I would need to order from you again.
Thanks for the report, Nightbird95. Very interesting to see the range of cell voltages after 45 days. I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but in case anyone is interested, I got 30+ of the same used lenovo packs 18sixfifty sources these cells from and did an analysis of some of the data I pulled from the PCBs. It gives some context for understanding the performance of these cells.
I haven’t gotten around to tearing apart more of the packs and doing tests on the individual cells, but I think I need to soon. The variation in cell voltage after 45 days makes me wonder if some of my assumptions and interpretation of the PCB data needs to be revisited.
Keep in mind that although I tested my batteries with the same tester I recharged with a variety of chargers. Not all chargers charge back up exactly the same. That probably accounts for the variation more than the 45 days. But still it wouldn’t hurt anything to test after longer resting time. Better data is always better!
Good to know.
Just an update, everyone’s batteries have shipped and I have more tested and ready to ship.
Thanks guys.
I sent you a PM for 20 batteries
PM replied to. Thanks
Just an update.
Everyone’s batteries have shipped, if you need a tracking number please let me know.
I have more batteries ready to ship.
Thanks guys
Got them. Look pretty good. Can’t wait to try them on some new lights. How does one test the capacity on these cells? I have a Nitecore D4 on the way, but I’m not sure if the digital readout measures capacity like my POWEREX MH-C9000.
I’m not sure about the D4 I haven’t owned one. Make sure to charge them all up good. I test these on the discharge and charge them up close to full but not completely.
Batteries are all shipped.
I’m still waiting on one reply to a PM.
I have more ready to go.
Maybe you’ve already said in this thread, but what is the capacity and amp rating of the sanyo blue-tops? I assume these are ICR?
