Woohoo got my batteries this morning! Those are some big honkin' batteries! All 4 of them were at 3.6V, so I guess I'll have to wait a little for them to charge before slapping them in the Provari.

Thank you so much Eric for organizing this, I'm sure it must not have been easy, but you did a great job!

Thank you! Glad they arrived safe and sound -- you never know once they're in the hands of CP. :D Yeah, stick them on teh charger and forget about 'em for a while. First charge at least seems to take a good 5 hours, at least on my 500mA charger -- half that I suppose on a full 1A. Once charged though these things will kick out the power for a good long time and have no trouble delivering the current. I love these in my ProVari.

Get a Xtar WP6 II already!

6 bays,charge what you got!

Mine are delivered,waiting for me in my box,wOOt!

Thanks :)

Awesome! I like the Xtar in theory, but I hate those little shims you have to put in to charge different sizes. Honestly, what was wrong with spring-loaded contacts?

Got mine! Very excited!

Sweet! Now you just gotta wait for 'em to charge. :)

Crap,CP says "delivered" but there was echoooooo in my mail box :(

Oh, crap. I seriously hope it's not this s*** again. There's still a chance it might show up if they scanned it prior to leaving the depot (as I'm told they do if the driver doesn't have a handheld to take with him) so let's hope that's what's going on here.

So when is the next co-op? I want more!

Maybe a charger co-op

Let me recover from this one first and then I'll see. This is nervous business, this. I'm paranoid of miscalculating or screwing up. :)

Got them!

Initial charge: 3.63V

Slapped in the Xtar at 6:00Pm,les see how long it takes

Pleasant surprise is I forgot how many i ordered,tought it was 2,got 4 :laugh:

Awesome -- glad CP didn't screw it up. I'd place my bets at around 8:30 before they go green. :)

You did a great job and you have a great Canadian base of supporters here that understand and respect what you have done for us. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your efforts for stepping up to do this co-op and I do hope that you can represent us again. Shek is great and hopefully he'll let you piggy back off of more of his future coops for us Canadians because it seems that it ran rather smoothly. Although he does seem to be willing to include us in his next co-op... ;-)

Awesome, glad it arrived safe. :)

Thanks. :) That doesn't make it any less nervous though -- the last thing I want to do is screw up a big responsibility to a lot of people. I love being part of this community and having some small roles in it, so if I made some major screw up I'd feel like I'd be forever walking around here with a big neon L on my forehead. :)

Glad to help! Forutytwo's help was invaluable too, and Shek of course for letting me split off a Canadian segment of the co-op. :)

Yes, my apologies fortytwo. I knew you were in on it, but I got so excited when I got them :)

I'd thank Shek as well, but I'm scared of him :D
