If i get 100 of these, then i can get them pretty cheap, how long would it take to offload these u think.

Also, what is the going rate for these, what are people asking for them?

I think its about $9-$11 a piece or something ?

Im thinking of getting a lot of 100, but wuold have to know i cuold offload these pretty fast ..

Depends on the quality, really.

If these are AW 18650s, or if they are IMR 18650s, that's one thing for that price. If they are crappy, ultrafires, then it's $3-5 a piece.

I don't even know if you could get $5 for trustfires - they are so common.

AW is a company, they make high quality batteries. And as for IMR... I actually have so idea what it is. I think it's a type of battery chemistry (i.e. like LiMn instead of Li-ion). But I am not sure - I just know they are known to be good batteries.

When looking for high quality batteries, you are looking for:
a) High ACTUAL battery capacity (mAh)
b) High (safe) current discharge rate

That's essentially what makes a good battery a good battery.

If you are going to buy 100ea of them you should buy Sanyo, Samsung, IMR or AW's but not ultrafire.

I would seriously doubt that you could get $5 each for Trustfires. I think you can get unprotected Trustfires in the range of $3 each. You'd need to BEAT that price in all likelihood.

For that matter, you can get decent Samsung cells for about $2 each when purchased in 100x QTY.

I'll bet you could get that much if your shipping was only a few days, to get one from HK takes 10-18 days ;)

I suppose you need to read up on that before you plan to sell any batteries really. These are just some examples of good quality batteries, panasonic/ncr makes good cells too. I would advise extreme caution though: Ebay sellers have been know to sell fake brand cells, shitty ones like ultrafires but with a brand plastic sleeve around them. This would give you a lot of problems when selling them on since people will complain about the meager performance and demand refunds.

Oh ok that makes sense. I didn't know the overall price from getting the battery pack.

its not really that i was "planning on selling them"

I just cam across them, and figured, i could buy this, keep like 25, and sell the rest.

i could get, without making any money, get 100x "DCA1002-UltraFire 18650 3.7V 3000 mAh Rechargeable Battery, Lithium lon PCB protected" for $200 shipped, as i said, i have no idea about the going rates, but i figured this must be cheap.

Thx, btw, any more info on battery's is welcome.

Also, about the capacity, and discharge rates, what numbers am i looking for, to qualify as a HIGH QUALITY battery

Yeah, bulk in lots of 10 or so might be the way to go. Better gauge the interest first.
