So sorry but I can't get the batteries.

I am confused. So is this large group buy on or not? Are the 200 pcs ordered (and paid for) yet?

What i dont like about the KeepPower is the +pole (anode). too flat and broad. very untypical 18650 for a flashlight. It doesnt work with my Eagletac light.

The other product, EnerPower+ (more expensive because Germany assembled ;) ) has a raised +pole (anode), similar to standard 18650's (XTAR, Trustfire, etc.). I found a trusted source where it is possible to get an introductory discount on these brand new (and hard to get) Protected 3400's (based on Panasonic NCR18650B), unit price would be 15€/pc (+4€ global shipping).

Am just saying. If this KeepPower gb isnt happening, let me know who (how many ppl) would be interested in the 15€ EnerPower deal. I might even open a feeler thread on this topic/deal ;)

The deal was ended 12 days ago. See the post made in this thread:

This is why I hate dealing directly with the distributors. I always end up with some sort of issue from them. Frequently it’s a language issue but sometimes they are just liars.
I specifically asked for a quote about the 3400mAh batteries. Through a series of exchanges we worked out a price plus shipping and all other fees involved. As my threads got more and more interest and the quantity grew I would go back and work out price per unit cost and shipping costs and other fees. FOR THE 3400MAH BATTERIES.
On Sunday when I said I needed to place my order for 200 batteries. The contact person said we don’t have them……
They offer these batteries in large quantity only, online and they work with me on pricing and shipping and everything else to tell me in the end its all for not. Evidently they had them but not they don’t.
They then tried to push me to the 3100mAh batteries at the same price. But I don’t want the 3100mAh batteries I’ve already promised all of you the other, better battery.
Obviously I can’t take your money for one battery and send you a different one. So for the person that’s already payed up I’ll be absolutely certain to return funds. And one person was going to send a check so if you have I will be absolutely certain it gets returned.
I’m very upset about all of this. I was expecting a smooth transaction and relatively quick delivery both to me and to all of y’all.
I’m terribly sorry for all the inconvenience and the anticipation only to get let you down. Maybe in the future when they ramp up the production of these batteries we can get this done successfully.

Yeah, it doesn’t stand out due to the way the post was written, and the original post not having been updated.

@torchythebatteryboy

Any idea when the 3400mAh will be available? Keeppower told me they wouldn’t be able to get supplies from Panasonic for a few months.

Sorry, i am a newbie here. Just learn how to quote :bigsmile:

Thanks very much for your support.

Bit late, I suspect. KumaBear has this pretty well sorted now - for US members.
