Remember hard cell packs can be opened up, discarding the outer case for a much smaller size final result.THX for the links.... I'm looking for 2 cell parallel 3.7 volt li-po with around 30 C continuous and about 2000 mah. Big or hard case batteries won't let me do a small mod but would work for a larger mod.
Will search a bit more when I start to plan the mod.... may just end up with 2 cells married in parallel.
THX again for the links....

That means more stuff for me. I wish everybody hated GearBest, that way they won't sell out so fast. Oh look, they even sold out of that battery too. Damn those people ordering from GearBest. They are always out of stock of the stuff I want to buy.
LOL.... too funny......"out of stock".... why not just increase inventory to match demand? J/K....
They do offer deals that seen too good to be true. Problem is, they often are. Once you have gone down that road enough times....you realize it just isn't worth it.
I've been a big critic of GB in the past but my last 3 orders have actually shipped quickly and have went off without a hitch. I had stopped ordering from them for awhile because of problems I was having with them. Tried one last time and it went smoothly, then one more, etc. I know it's only a small sample size, but in my case it seems like they may have changed the way they do business. I'm not ready to declare them a great place to order from, but they have seemingly stepped up their game in my case. YMMV

That sounds promising.... had several heartburns with them early on and just never considered them again... hum....
My last fopa with GB was the flash sale on the Tesla Nano TC mod for $23.00 discounted from $60.00 about 2 mo ago. Two days later they say it was a mistake and offered to sell it to me for like $42 or $48 to make up for their error. Took 5 days to credit back my pp account with the refund.
That was like the 4th flash sale they burned me on saying it was a mistake and I just swore never again!

You're most definitely right. It's got to be at least >26mm in depth. So if efuns measurement is correct it's the same form factor as the dx75.
I spoke with someone from hotcig. Looks like they will be offering the dx75 in these variations in the future.
I was very hesitant to make my post because about a year back I had some issues with them. I stopped ordering from them for quite some time. A month or two ago I saw a flash sale for 18650's. They were guaranteed authentic (from the site where I learned of the sale). I had also bought 25R's from them in the past that were top notch and they are still working great even though I think they should be declining by now (that was before I had had my bad experience).
The new batteries I bought were 8 x 25R's and 8 x LG HG2's in separate orders a few days apart. They both shipped the next day. Both came with nice cases even though it wasn't advertised that cases would be included. Well a couple of weeks after receiving them I read that a lot of bad LG HG2's were being sold (seemed like bad ones were in the supply chain). That made me nervous so I unwrapped one of them to check the markings on the case as well as get a good look at the insulator. They were genuine, as a matter of fact I tested them in my VT133 and had the same slight voltage sag that I got from authentic 25Rs (at high power). Then I ran them to the weak battery warning (soft cell cutoff set to 3.09v (not completely drained) and my VC4 battery charger put in 2800+ mah (2 different sets). I was impressed considering at least one well known respected company had received the fakes.
Just last week I ordered 3 different Hcigar battery covers for my VT133's and they also shipped the next day. It might just be dumb luck on my part, but compared to my last go around with them, this has been a complete 180. I also ordered things that were in stock (that could be part of it as well).
I'm definitely not telling anyone to order from them, they are still in the process of winning back my trust. I'm starting with smaller orders just in case.
PS The batteries were on a flash sale - 8 x 25r's for $29 and change - 8 x LG HG2's were $35. They didn't try to add to the price or anything, just shipped them out the next day.
Cheers,
Steve

I know there was a vote done on AAEC to consider banning them from vendor status over the Tesla flash sale which also would have banned them from Australian and I think New Zealand and one other country's forums as well due to affiliations. They listed at least 10 times GB pulled the same thing with the flash sales, had a huge grievance for the companies practice of showing stock on items when they in fact had none, and members also contributed their horror stories and the GB rep was pressed to answer the charges before the vote just like they were on trial. This was a pretty big deal for their market penetration apparently and the outcome of the vote was that they were served final notice, placed on probationary limited status and warned that any duplication of these deceptive marketing practices would result in their removal from vendor status.
Must have shook them up enough to straighten up and fly right for a while. I don't know how long it will keep, but I consider it a good thing for the community and hope GB has learned from the experience.

So it looks like if I want a LiPo DNA 75, I'll have to build it. I'm really surprised companies aren't just slapping a 1s2p lipo in some of these and calling it a day.
Yeah, Iv been waiting on the Lavabox M... But a Month wait is too long lol

Lol...not sure what they mean by acrylic glass...plastic glass? I mean, it's just plexiglass I guess. Still scratchy scratchy. Either way, It'll sell well...again.
