good reliable place to buy protected 18650's

hey all, im looking for some good protected 18650 cells. can you guys give me a reliable place in the u.s to purchase from.

KumaBear sells KeepPower which have been reviewed by HKJ on this forum.

I purchased several from KumaBear.

This is not his day job so at times responses are delayed. My orders arrived
fairly promptly however.

KumaBear, great batteries.

Mostly lurking here but try to contribute when I can.

Many positive reviews here on the forum for this member with quality cells, (sometimes delayed/other obligations) solid acknowledgements and rapid shipment.

Seems to be the only downside is that (other member posts attest) his packaging is almost bulletproof and takes some time to open :slight_smile:

Sure we’d all apreciate some feedback here wherever you buy

Hi "doingoutdoor",

do you also have a name so we know who we are talking to?

Keeppower are good cells. Will you stock 18500s? Why no shipping to Germany?

Thanks :)

Fasttech.com has the best prices I have seen on batteries. I have bought their Panasonic protected 3400 mAh ($19 for 2), Sanyo protected 2600 mAh ($11 for 2), and Trustfire protected “3000 mAh” ($9 for 2) batteries. All have been genuine as far as I can tell.

The original question was “reliable place in the u.s to purchase from.”
KumaBear is all of the above and in the U.S. The other vendors are not in the U.S.
KumaBear also had an incredible deal on the Thrunite TN31 in Dec. with personal inspections of the common problems before shipping each one.

used the eagletac 3400 battery? is it good? can it be bought in US?

Pity that KumaBear doesn’t ship outside of US…
