The 3400mah NCR18650B Panasonic cells are back in stock at my location in Dallas, TX.

The new technology in these Panasonic cells make them a great power source.

The 3100mah Panasonics are also in stock . . .

and a better value at $11.95.

Status Update October 2, 2012

3100 mah Panasonic cells in stock.

3400 mah Panasonic cells in transit from supplier.

These cells have been delayed by shipping changes in postal regulations.

First the U.S. restricted air mail shipping to countries outside the U.S.

Now far eastern postal departments have raised restrictions on shipping.

There are still some shipping methods available, but it has delayed this shipment of Panasonic 3400 mah cells.

Shipment arrived in Dallas Oct 25, 2012.

Hi Larry,
I'm interested in a couple of 3400 mah Panasonic's when they arrive. Any ideas on how to ship to Australia for a reasonable price?

 

[DJNY]

Would also be interested in 1-2pcs shipped to Austria!

I've been told that the U.S. Postal service will have new guidelines for shipping lithium ion cells by Jan, 2013.

Until then the only option for international shipping,

is the express companies for a minimum charge of ~$25.

Good News for Inexpensive International Air Shipping !

Nov 15th, 2012 - U.S. Postal Service is now allowing international shipment of lithium ion cells.

This regulation requires that the cells or batteries be installed in the equipment for operation.

Bottom line is that a piece of equipment will be required to ship them internationally.

I am looking for some very inexpensive equipment to ship the cells in.

I think two cells will ship for $8 in an inexpensive light/holder.

Three/Four cells will ship for $11 in an inexpensive light/holder .

Thanks;

What is the exact legislative text? Would a plastic case with wires enough?

DJNY;

Here is the new regulation:

IMM Revision: Outbound Mailing of Lithium Batteries

It also requires a method to prevent turning on equipment.

My guess is that they are assuming the equipment will be of hardy construction so that if something happened to the package, the batteries would be largely unaffected, whereas if it was just the batteries they might get damaged and explode or something.
