Latest list of NPE-authorized vendors/distributors for Molicel batteries

[Mooch]

Here’s the latest list of NPE-authorized vendors/ distributors of Molicels, also known as Global Distribution Partners (GDP). N-Power Energy Limited (NPE) is the global distributor for Molicels to our community (and others).

Please delete any other list you might have or posted, thanks!

Many vendors sell Molicels but, in my opinion, the GDP’s are the ones we can always trust to have good cells. If their prices are higher that is for a reason…you are buying good cells as direct from the manufacturer as possible. There are other vendors who buy cells from GDP’s too.

Thanks Mooch. I tend to re-visit your vendor list, latest bench tests, etc each time I'm needing to order fresh batts. Since batts are your niche, I've been searching for blog info re:battery shipping. Im not finding it. If you've not addressed this please drop this in suggestion box. I understand delivery dangers w/air delivery of Li-on batts. However admit getting frustrated w/more $S&H than items/stated. Learning more might settle frayed nerves.Always on behalf of vapers: TYVM.

If I understand your lament, my solution to high shipping costs for batteries is to order them in bulk at one time rather than to order them only when I need them. I do this for a lot of stuff, not just batteries.

Shipping batteries legally requires extra packaging, labeling, and paperwork so many vendors will charge extra for that. You’d have to ask the vendors if that is the reason why they are charging more than usual for shipping them.

I agree with @UncleJunkle, try placing larger orders and see how the cost divides per cell. Perhaps combine orders with friends? I don’t recommend placing large orders and storing batteries for longer than a few months, perhaps a year, though. Batteries still age in storage.
