I need some batteries.

[Don29palms]

I need to get some batteries. I want some Samsung 20S and 30T. I'd like to get some feedback on some reputable companies. Price, shipping cost and customer service. If you had any problems were they dealt with satisfactorily? I'm in Kalifornia if that makes any difference. Thanks

Samsung and Sony are always good bets.

I was charging a set of LG HG2 today and I was impressed how low the IR was for their age, too.

As far as a vendor liionwholesale is great, IMO.

I like IMRBatteries. They’re out of Houston and prices always seem good, bud their shipping cost is a little higher than others. I do like 1850batteries. Also reliable, forgot where they ship from, but decent prices and slightly lower shipping costs. I have used both Illum and RTD but not in some time. All are on Mooch’s recommended battery supplier list. I’d just price shop and go with whichever is the best deal. They’re all legit.

I like IMRBatteries.

I've never ordered batteries... very lucky a friend gave me my first 18650s to get me to try a external battery mod (instead of getting another internal bat mod) I am so glad he did that. Anyway, he highly recommends that website.

I only buy batteries from three companies:

Orbtronic
Illumn
IMR

No order. Whichever has what I want at the time. 8-9 years of trusted service for me, and I'd rather pay more with one of them (if even necessary).

I didn't know Orbtronic sold their batteries themselves. Checked out the site and they fudge the amp discharge numbers which is a bit of a red flag for me. Keeping that in mind, they only rewrap very good batteries.

The last 6 years or so I've always bought from Illumn, but IMRbatteries.com and Liionwholesale have very good reputations too. For me shipping to Canada can be a deal breaker, but other than that I would buy from any of these guys with no worries.

Illumn has been great for me. If you live close to San Jose, you can will call them.

I like 18650batterystore. They price-matched to liion's 2018 Christmas sale prices after I had placed my order with them and their shipping was the lowest.

That's the kind of customer service I like to hear about.

We did order from them once or twice too. I had forgotten about that. They were good too (agreed).

18650batterystore has become my goto source as well.

Liion warehouse.
Only place I've purchased batteries in the past 3 years. Order is always correct, quick, and occasionally has a free flashlight.

In PA, ship very quickly.

Checking back, it was actually Black Friday sale prices. I placed the order on Saturday the 24th, a day after BF, saved screenshots of liion's sale prices on my phone and at the same time emailed the price-match request. They reviewed my request on Monday, shipped the order two days later, and finally issued the difference as a refund on the 30th.

You've been at this longer than I have but I like IMRbatteries and 18650battery others have mentioned them but they're both very good. IMR includes a couple free wraps total and a free case with every pair of batteries you get it's just a cheap plastic case but it does the job. I got the Samsung 25r batteries for $2.99 from them during a sale

I only use 18650batterystore anymore. Awesome service and shipping and their pricing is better than most. They will occasionally toss in some goodies like 18650 flashlights and battery related accessories.

I've been happy with 18650batterystore, Liion wholesale, and IMR. Never had an issue. IMR is in Houston, as mentioned above, and so am I so I always get my order next day.
