Where dafuq to buy batteries!! "Exclamation" "Exclamation" "Exclamation"

Can someone please make a sticky of websites that sell li-ion batteries where the mah they say on there packaging is the real mah, I used LPF Search and I cant find anywhere, I'm also starting to doubt that Li-ion batteries exist maybe there all just from laptops or maybe there nickel metal hydride, ahh help me!
Anyway I want to buy some 16340(if Li-ion really exist). +1 rep for answer!

Edit: and also how do I edit the titles of threads?

Not sure what the best option is for someone in the UK, but any of the following would work;

Illuminationsupply.com
Mountain Electronics
E2 Field Gear
Fenix Flashlights, Solarforce, Cree LED, Lithium Batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries, Li-Ion Chargers, Maxpedition Bags, Spyderco Knives and more!
orbtronic.com
Batteries, Chargers, LED Flashlights, and More!

LarryDFW on here.

Or chinese vendors, like fasttech, banggood, hkequipment, cnquality etc,.

You have to stick to name brand batteries... otherwise the mAh values will always be off. Forget about anything that has ****fire in the name.

To edit thread title, go to advanced edit... dafuq were you thinking dafuqing in the thread title?:san:

There is a guy here, I just got a bunch of good laptop pulls from;

ICR18650-28A $2.50 ea, | BudgetLightForum.com

If you go that route, just please be aware that you need a decent charger, and need to keep an eye on battery voltage.

For smaller cells like 16340's or 18350's I usually only use AW cells. You can get them from the main distributor on CPF.

So far I have purchased all of mine from https://illuminationsupply.com/ as well as Amazon and have also purchased chargers from both but there are plenty of other places too, you just won't find them in stores, only online.

Looking around redilast and AW are just both relabelled NCR18650 Panasonic, and they have both added there different protection boards. Nitecore is a good brand as well but I'm wondering if they are just relabelled Panasonic?

My conclusion: All good Li-ion are just Relabelled Panasonic, Nitecore are good batteries but until someone unwraps them we wont know if there Panasonic or not.

Edit: wow learning more about batteries and discharge curves, AW are the best fking batteries(Until you go above 2A discharge, link to graph's) does having a different protection circuit really make that much difference or is there something I'm missing?

I'm building a laser using a NDB7875 diode and I'm going to use 2 16340 batteries, The best battery I can find with the most capacity at 2-3A is the 16340 Efest IMR16340 V2 550mAh, before I buy a load of them I wanted to know if there is any battery with a higher capacity then these?

Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 700mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 2A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 6A

wow I never new they would fit, only 1mm extra! And I just checked and wow the AW IMR 18350 700mAh is awsome thanks so much man!

Two 18350 cells have much less capacity . . .

than one 18650 cell.

Two 700mah = 1400 mah x V = power
vs.
One 3200mah LG cell = 3200mah x V = power

Each requires a driver for ~85% efficiency.

Search Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/

There are some good batteries offered--look for AW, Panasonic, Samsung, Nitecore

Have a look also at : http://www.ledfiretorches.co.uk/batteries-chargers/rechargeable-cr-123-li-ion-batteries.html

I'm using them with this diode & 2.4A X-Drive https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/9mm-445nm , it needs 6-9V so I have to use 2 batterys.

The X-Drive does require two lithium cells.

I use the same 9mm 445 diode with a boost driver ( like X-Boost)

and use a single 18650 cell.
