LarryDFW, how much extra for the soldered nipple?

InfinitusEquitas. Do the magnetic spacers work well? For example, do they have a tendency to slip out of place?

Regards,
Roger

No extra charge.

I've done several of them.

Strong magnets are OK,

but I am concerned that they might move around, and create a short.

Personally I haven't had any problems using those spacers. While inserting a battery with a spacer, I'm just must more mindful of what I'm doing.

After a battery is in, between the magnet being fairly strong, and the pressure from a spring/contact point I really can't see how it could shift. So IMO the only danger is when you're taking out or putting in the batteries.

Some extensive test results from the Candlepower forum:

Test of Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh (Green)

Notice the excellent results, even @ 5 amps current draw.

I have to say, I REALLY love using these cells. Ideally I'd love to replace all of mine with them. That chart is just so much more eye candy lol :crackup:

I glad you are enjoying them.

I ordered a green laser from a group buy on LPF a few weeks ago.

It came with a new red "Tomo" 18650 cell marked as 3200 mah.

I noticed it seemed lighter than the Panasonic 3400 mah cells I use.

I put both on an accurate scale.

The Panasonic weighed 45% more.

No wonder, the actual capacity of the Tomo is far less.

P.S. U.S. Post Office is now allowing International shipment of 18650 cells.

I have added a new Option to the Panasonic 3400 mah cells.

For those with multi-cell builds . . .

I will add a soldered button to the positive terminal . . .

at NO extra charge.

Option is on the order page.

Thanks;

LarryDFW

P.S. International shipping is now allowed for cells
in an equipment holder we furnish.

Larry, just wanted to say thanks for the great batteries. Also for adding the button tops for use with my tactical flashlight. These batteries are a ton better than the UltrFire batteries I previously bought. Seems like they last forever in the flashlight. Much appreciated and I will prolly buy some more in the near future. Do I need to let you know by PM when I'm ready to buy so you can add the button tops?

Thanks for the review !

My order page has the Terminal Selection Option . . .

for choosing flat or button positive terminals.

The buttons have lower resistance than other mechanical buttons I have seen.

Just to clarify . . .

U.S. Postal regulations now allow International shipping of 18650 cells . . .

in equipment only.

We have low cost equipment in stock to satisfy these regulations.

Postal Shipments in the U.S. can be bare cells.
