Is "liionwholesale.com" or "illumn.com" legit places to buy batteries and aren't going to steal your money?

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
1

Hey guys, i have two atactical a1s flashlights and they work great, however the replacement batteries are beginning to die

the atactical a1s takes “18650 battery 3.7 v rechargeable button top” batteries to my understanding

i was recommended two sources for batteries to buy

https://liionwholesale.com/collections/batteries/products/protected-lg-mj1-18650-battery-genuine-tested-10a-3500mah-button-top-wholesale-discount?variant=12530399684

and i wanted to ask, are these sources legit? are will they actually mail you the batteries or will they just steal my money?

thank you

They are both legit.

3

Illumn is legitimate, i have several flashlights and multiple batteries from them.

4

Liion Wholesale is a legit supplier

and also look into IMR Batteries

I have had good experiences from both, and will continue to purchase from either when I need new more cells

I have’nt bought from Illumn, but from what others have reported that is legit shop as well

5

If you pay with a credit card there is virtually no way they can steal your money.

6

They are my top 2 go to when I need new cells.

I got some original LG cells from Illumn for great price :)

i’ve gotten cells from liionwholesale.com and was very pleased with the cells/service.
have also used imrbatteries.com with no complaints… aside from their name being a bit misleading (chemistry of cells). then again A LOT of folks abusing ‘IMR’.

Mooch has a list of ‘Some good vendors’ for the US, and EU.

Illum is legit for sure.

One thing to watch for, the a1s comes with a rechargeable battery that is probably longer than a normal 18650. Check the lengths and compare them to the replacements. Those dealers are legit and 18650 Battery Store is another good one.

They are both 110% legit. The owner of Illumn used to take part in this forum quite a bit and they’re great folks there. Liion is a larger supplier and has a host of services in regard to spot welding and packs, etc. Both are very particular about sourcing legit cells and proper care & feeding while they have them/before sale to customers. IMR and 18650.com are also legit, and you could check out Aloft Hobbies as well.

I have probably 20 orders between Illumn and Liion over the years, and have ordered a few times from Aloft and IMR. Never any issues with time, service, payment, or the quality of goods. I usually compare prices between all of them before ordering.

Illumn still does a discount for us….about 5% if you enter “blfuser” at checkout.

12

both are good, have bought from them multiple times over the past few years.

13

Both places legit!!

14

legit & legit

15

as much as liionwholesale is legit. If you’re a smart nerd, you will test your batteries’ capacities and internal resistance, however if you find you got a subpar cell, maybe old stock or a defective piece and they do not meet advertised specs, they will make excuses and blame your $500.00 worth of charger/analyzers for not being an 8000.00 oscilloscope.

TLDR- you’re stuck with whatever you got and as far as stealing, no, not outright

16

I’ve bought dozens of batteries from liion wholesale they are fresh batteries never had one bad battery yet and the shipping is incredibly fast

17

Both are not only legit, but offer great customer service as well.

I hope you enjoy your stay, How To Flashlight!

I've only heard good things about liionwholesale.com and illumn.com

I ordered some batteries from liionwholesale, and I can say firsthand that they're legit.
