18650 Battery & Charger

Kimbot

Hi everybody,

Bought myself an Innokin Hunter last week, I have 1 aspire 2600 18650 battery at the moment and I am just looking to pick up some spare batteries and a charger. Can you guys recommend me something?

I have been looking on Amazon and have come up with getting these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MYX11A6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2IX46VLSSUT3O&psc=1
&
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0183AM5JM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1SPYIFI7CTYGV&psc=1

Reason I am using amazon is cos I am buying Coils there aswell but im easy on where to buy as long as I get them asap - edit - scratch that, most batteries won't even deliver to PM from amazon.

as chargers go _ i wouldn't try and save any money - get a nitecore or similarly high profile brand.

I would also be cautious of a USB powered charger - seems flaky to me. I would urge you to get a mains powered charger
EFest batteries seem okay but seriously consider the charger unless you are going to be remaining in the room with the charger at all times!!

Perfect, I am ordering the Nitecore i2 but cant seem to get batteries on Amazon that will ship to me so will probably get them elsewhere.

I got 4 of these from gearbest, I find them great batteries, waiting 2 weeks for delivery though

Try Vapingman.co.uk. Dispatch same day. I've had orders arrive within 27 hrs using parcel motel. Usually more like 48 hrs though, which is still impressive coming from London via NI.

Orders over ?30 get you free shipping so you're only paying for parcel motel. So if there's other stuff you want it probably makes sense to use them but not if you're ordering below ?30.

I've used the batteries and they're good, but not 35a continuous. They're 20a continuous. I bought some samsung 30q's because I read iffy stuff about the efest, but frankly, since I got the Samsungs I discovered I'm actually perfectly happy with the efest. No problems with them and decent performance. Certainly didn't notice better performance with the Samsungs.

Just ordered off thebestshop, thanks for the help guys. I didnt realise they were in Ireland so should have my few bits tomorrow.

Anything with batteries can be a pain to get shipped to Ireland, I find these Samsung batteries quite good, just set up a parcel motel account to get them shipped to

Most bricks and mortar stores should carry a range of batteries. I know Kix sell the LG HE4 and the Samsung 25r at 10 each or 2 for 18.
Tbh I find thebestshop.eu the is as handy as anywhere. Order before 3pm and it's usually next day delivery.

Best battery source I found was eu.nkon.nl. I bought 10 to hit the discount. Think it was 40 including P&P. I have a nitecore that chargers 4 at once, not sure how I lived without having this convenience
