Best price on AW IMR High Drain Batteries?

[Vwls]

Anyone? Looking to grab a couple more 350s and 650s... Fairy Gift has the best pricing, but the shipping kills it (you have to use UPS to get them here because China airmail won't ship batteries right now). Provape and House of Vapor run around $9 each for 350s. There's got to be a good deal going on out there... maybe a discount code or free shipping thing?

RTD Vapor. They are out of stock of the 350s right now (they seem to be selling out quickly ever since china has posted restrictions :\). $7.87 + $2.99 shipping. I prefer RTD Vapor as I know they're genuine AW IMRs.

i know it seems expensive but i personally wouldnt worry about trying to save a dollar on something that lasts over a year anyways.

buy from a reputable dealer to make sure you are getting the real deal. Do not cheap out on batts.

 

[Vwls]

Agreed - I should have phrased my question better... which of the reputable dealers has the best deal...

 

[douglasp]

I recommend R-Lsales on ebay that's the same listing ITTechy posted earlier they sell the real thing and free&fast shipping theyre out of Utah but get to fla in a couple of days.

Lighthound.com often has deals, they always have stock, great selection and genuine batteries.

If not from RTD as noted above by Goo... this is why it's a good idea to get your batteries from a flashlight vendor like uber-reputable Lighthound. The high end flashlight community is pretty mature... they've weeded out (most) all the shady characters, so the likelihood of you getting fake AWs (or even fake Efests) is pretty slim.

+1 for RTD, nice, reputable ppl to do business with. And the 3 days shipping from door to door Cannot be beat.

I always look at RTD first and then Lighthound if RTD is out of stock. Both are reputable and both have fairly competitive pricing.

Amazon. I'm a Prime member, so I get free two-day shipping on their Prime items (there are some batteries that fit the bill) plus I've had great success resolving conflicts through them.

just ordered 2 efest imr 350s for 8.99 at vaporalley.com . minus the ecf coupon it came out to like $12 shipped for 2 imr 350s.

I hope you guys know that we have a ECF Supplier here and his price is bang on, besides being genuine AW IMRs√

Not to hijack...it's related since RTD was cited and recommended.....

I see they have different 18650's at different prices. So, I guess you have to ask yourself "best price for what?"

Also, this is very interesting:
Batteries : Panasonic High Drain NCR18650PD Hybrid 2900mAh Button Top
Batteries : Panasonic High Drain NCR18650PD Hybrid 2900mAh Protected Button Top
One is protected and the other isn't. Yet they have the same amp limits and mAh...so same chem. The protection not tripping at the usual low level of other types is interesting.

So would you guys use a protected battery like that in a mech then? (see specs). Would it help? Anyone know about these?

My only thought is that the protected version has to be slightly longer due to the added circuitry. But, if they fit in the mod, and everything else is equal, I'd think the protected version would be preferred.
