ICR18350 batts vs. -19 degree night outside... guess who won

[Shy]

hey everyone, just wondering where BESIDES TW i can get ICR18350 protected batts for my screwdriver MKII. after newyears i was needless to say hung over and forgot my screwdriver was in my buddies glovebox. well it sat outside all night in his truck with its batt in. and of course the batt froze and busted soooooo where can i get another replacement batt for this thing? do any of you have one or two that i can buy. or have a link to a website that has them? i refuse to deal with TW anymore.
thanks guys

I've purchased from this place (and won a contest from...LOL) Battery for DSE-601 e-Pipe - $7.49 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce


Does it have to be ICR? Protected 18350 Lithium Ion Battery

I would really really like it to be protected. Unless of course protected batteries are all just a bunch of hype. I've just heard they are safer is all.

Both of those that I linked should be protected.

another option:
Ultrafire 18350 1200mah 3.7v BUTTON TOP Rechargeable Lithium Battery Li-Ion UF18350
^^^not protected^^^

Ultrafire has a pretty bad track record though... I wouldn't bother.

A good quality li-ion cell shouldn't burst in extreme cold unless it has been over-charged before being subjected to that extreme cold.. Have you confirmed that the charger you are using terminates properly and does not overcharge cells? Do you feel that the cells you have been using are of good quality?
