Banggood panasonic 18650b batteries

Post by Trakker1 » 20 Mar 2014, 14:30

Ordered some Panasonic 18650b 3400 mah batteries from banggood, they took a while to come but did finally get here

I think they were about £11.20 for two Which is cheap

I used the coupon as advised on here ( thanks ) bgf120

Tried to order another pair but wouldn't except the coupon... This Knocked a couple of pounds off the price

Question is... Has anyone go a new coupon code...please , it won't except the bgf120


Thanks

There isn't a current discount code. Panasonic are trying to prevent their batteries being resold instead of turned into PC battery packs, so there may be a shortage, which explains the price rise.

Wallbuys is offering them slightly cheaper:

But two weeks ago they were telling customers they could no longer supply them and offering a refund. *shrug*

I've ordered 3 lots from Banggood, all turned up, so I'm inclined to use them again. I did buy one torch from Wallbuys and it did turn up promptly, so give them a go if you want to, but if they say they are out of stock, demand a full refund rather than a credit or backorder. If they don't issue it promptly then go straight to a PayPal dispute.

Didn't think you'd need a coupon at these prices. I just ordered a couple.

The 3400mah Panasonics are now $21.67 USD for two. They were $16.50 with the code. Still good value, but they were excellent value before.

In £s they are £7.78 for TWO, that seems pretty good to me.

Gotcha. 3100 Mah vs 3400, unprotected vs protected. Still an excellent battery, just not as in demand.

You can get excellent batteries from new genuine laptop batteries like hp or dell, just takes a little bit of work getting them apart.
Their not protected, but it doesn't matter to me because the price is right. I bought 2 so far, one had 12 batteries and the other had 8.
