Battery Stock

[TechnoDestructo]

Hello, I just started viewing all the items at madvapes. Been checking on batteries for a couple weeks. The ones I want seem to always be out of stock. So my question is.. When something is out of stock like batteries. How long is the usual wait on out of stock batteries? Couple days, week , when ever they show up? Just hoping to get a time frame. Il still check everyday but thought I would ask.

I noticed that as well. I've been looking to buy some CR123's and they've been out for a while. MadVapes is usually pretty quick to resupply their stock unless they're having a problem with a supplier.

I'm in the same boat. Waiting on them to get some 16340's so I can try the dual coil cartos at 6v.

In the 5.0v thread, Hoogie said a few days ago he is waiting for his battery order to arrive... He also indicated it is a substantial order.

Edit: Either I am remembering the wrong thread, or it was in the post he edited and that statement is gone. -- Still, I do recall him saying something about a large battery order on the way. And judging by stock at other places, maybe there's some export delay.

I was desperate and ordered the Haoba rcr123a 3 volt Battery Kit. I needed a new charger anyway. I just wish that it was more versatile.

Seems everytime China has a few days off it delays our orders for about 12 or so days.. Our batteries were supposed to ship on the 27th. Got delayed due to power outages in Shenzhen, then the holiday came and caused more delay. They finally made it to the freight forwarder who was overwhelmed by the backlog from taking a few days off and just today, I finally got a tracking number that shows that they're still in Hong kong

But they are at least moving, so that is a good thing Hopefully we'll get them in the next few days. 5 volt batts are supposed to be in tomorrow..

WooHoo on the 5 volt batts. What charger will these work on? Hope it's one I already have....for the sake of marital harmony (read as quiet, as in lack of nagging and no pouting).

So there is hope! Come on shipping! Heh. I am hoping to pick up some cr-2's and the charger for them. Hopefully they will be in the same shipment.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a couple of CR2's here soon. Glad to see it's not a permanent out-of-stock. Is there a charger out there that will do both CR2's and 14500's? Just curious because I like my equipment to multi-task.

What happened to the 5 volt batts. hoog? Had any word or am I just not finding them on the site? I've been waiting to order some other stuff but I'm running out of time, the 13th is almost here!

So we do have the 5 volt (4.8 volts actually) batteries in and we've been testing them.. They work great for a lot of things but the manufacturer and I both assumed that they would charge on some of the multi-volt chargers we have but they don't... So instead of releasing them without a means to charge them, we're working on a charger solution before sending them out.

Thanks hoog, I guess I better go ahead and place that order........

I have a charger already... though having two would be nice since the 1/3 NIMH 4packed batts need forever on the charger. I have one good batt and one not-so-good batt. -- So, any time you want to sell three or four of those, I'll be happy to get my hands on them. Keep us posted?

I need to get 4 Ultrafire Protected 16340/RCR123A 3.0V, but they're out of stock. I wondered of another battery could be used in its place. I have a TrustFire TR-001 Lithium Ion Battery Charger for my 18650 3.7 volt batts and it says it will charge 16340 but I don't know if that means 3 volt or 3.7 volt, as they come in both volts. Help please

 

[TechnoDestructo]

Did this boat sink or did the notification system decide to pass me by? could I get another timeline on when the cr2's are coming in. My brand new never used bottom feeder is a paper weight still.
