What do you guys think about Eastshine E35 Batteries for this Light?
3500MAH
https://www.amazon.com/EASTSHINE-E35-Protected-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B0154NRFVE
I’ve never heard of them, but even if we assume they are high quality, they are still overly expensive compared to the more established cells.
You can get 3500mah LG MJ1 protected for $8 each. That would save you a lot of money.
More details here.
What Jason said…. don’t waste your money.
Go HERE …… Liion Wholesale.
Check THESE out…. Samsung 30Q Button top
And THESE …. Panasonic 18650 GA Protected Button top
If those two examples don’t suit you, there are other options and they are all ON SALE……. 
There are also the 35E cells for $5 each with shipping that are offered with the GT (I think that GB is still open?).
Can someone remind me the 2 available shipping methods ?
One is DHL with the whole light and the other is China post split in 2 packages ?
That does sound good TA…. are those button top & protected?
Lunintop ‘brand’??
Thanks for the reminder…… :+1:
Can they be ordered with final payment?? Or is there a list for batteries?
button top and unprotected
The GT only work for Button top cells
you can order with the GT together,they are in same page
Hi neal
Any expected date when order would begin?
Thank you Neal! :+1: .
Correct. DHL is the better option for those that don’t have to worry about the customs side of things (aka, those in the USA should go for DHL for sure).
The china post is strickly to reduce the chance of customs issues, it is up to the buyer to figure out if and how much the customs fees, duties or taxes will be and up to them to pay any fees.
Lumintop only ships the light, everything after that is the buyers responsibility.
Hey all,
Would the Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650GA 3500 mAh protected or unprotected button top yield max performance from the giga-thrower? I’ve been reading the 35E from the group but is potentially best but wanted to see if the two above would yield the same result as the35E.
Thanks
Yes, the GA is another good cell option.
I’ve been skipping quite a few pages of this thread over time, and most recently… so please excuse me if i’m asking already answered questions.
Glad to read production has started and the first 1000 GTs should be shipped this year.
One question i have been wondering about is why use two battery carriers when a long (2x) Q8 style battery tube would have worked the same and be simpler/cheaper to produce? It would have been even more flexible as the light could have worked on 2, 4, 6 or 8 cells. I know it’s too late to argue about that, but i’m just curious…
Just making sure, protected and unprotected work of the GA?
The cells hae to be setup in 4s, so if a long Q8 style tube was used it would basically need all 8 cells filled all the time. Most people would not be able to figure out how to use only 2 tubes. In which case it would still come out the same as the setup we have now for cell use but without the ability to put the cells at the back of the tube to balance the weight.
