Panasonic CGR18650EA 2550mah $4.25-$4.95 shipped (US only)

These I presume? Panasonic 18650 2350mAh batteries

Haha, I probably would’ve bought 30 too! Not the exact same cell (2350 vs 2550 capacity difference), & either way $2.50 is a reasonable premium for an extra 200mah (I’ve certainly seen people pay a lot more… especially for Panasonics). Besides, it’s not like you’ll find equivalent cells in the states for cheaper short of another miracle by the good Reverend!
