Batteries are the very last place to try to save money.

AW 18350 800mah 12a CDR,


I buy my batteries here ---> AW Batteries
Correct!

Most of my atties are clones but ALL of my batteries and mods are authentic.

Looking for some 18350s wondering where's the best price?

I don't look for 'cheap'. I look for reliably authentic, and name manufacturers. This automatically excludes buying from Amazon, eBay, and many B&M shops. It also excludes many rewrap brands, like MXJO, Efest, etc.
I buy exclusively from RTD. Others buy from sites like Illumin.

As you have Probably noticed, there Isn't a huge selection of 18350 Batteries to choose from.

AW has a Long History of making Good Batteries. So they would be Logical Choice. But AW Batteries have also been the Target of Many Cloner's. So it is Very Important to buy them (or any Battery) from a Reputable source.

As other have Mentioned, RTD is a Reputable Source.

AW IMR 18350 3.7v 800mAh

Just reading the previous and I have heard all the sites/brands mentioned previously in a positive way, multiple times. Also, as was mentioned, many fake/clones are out there. For myself, I think not to shop for price on batteries, but the vendor that is trusted to sell only authentic.

Go for quality and authenticity over price. I have some Panasonic 18650 that are at least 2 years old, likely older, used daily. So I figure they cost me about $0.03 a day...likely spent more for the electricity to charge them.

Yeah... And I don't have a Problem springing for the Extra $0.0027 per day over 2 Years to get my Batteries from a Retailer with a Good Record of only selling Authentic Batteries.
