Post it in Technical and FAQ section as a group buy shouldn't pose a problem, no profit or gain involved. Just a few members saving a few quid.
I might be interested.
Onward posting within UK might be an issue and add to the cost some what as declared hazardous goods, some carriers won't touch them.

I got samsung 25rs.. Actually regret not getting a 3000mah cell, at the time i thought that the 25r was a "tougher" cell, more forgiving and with better life span, think i may have lost 1/6 of my potential capacity for little to none extra life span... Hey ho, tis all a learner :)image.jpeg

Unit prices look very good if the cells are all genuine, 25 - 40% cheaper then Nkon. But if on top delivery is £90 then Nkon are cheaper as already in the EU and 12 euros postage.

I can vouch for the genuineness, i went OCD on them, even got a magnifing glass on the top to see the tiny stamped letter inside the positive terminal that samsung put there.

Not prying or being rude, but how much was your total order inc delivery for 90 25R cells. PM me if you do not wish to post, promise I won't tell.

341dollars which was 265 pounds total delivered cost for 91 samsung 25r cells.

Cells- 175pounds
Delivery- 90 pounds


Thats was last months price list but still! Couldnt belive it when they actually turned up legit, went through paypal so as to have the maximum 'come back' if needed but all went smooth.

The £90 postage is the killer in the deal.
Nkon.B.V would have been about £20 cheaper and delivery is about 4-7 days, think I will forget the China route.
Geegood have the very good range of cells though.

85 cells I require for 7s 5p & 10s 5p work out £32 cheaper at Nkon.

I could be potentially be interested by a group order if still happening. Otherwise I'll go Nkon route

I have ordered from Nkon this morning, it's already been packed and dispatched for delivery by DPD in about 4 days.

DPD mailed me this morning to let me know that my Nkon order will be delivered on Monday, they will notify me with a 1hr delivery slot. No issues with customs or duty fees makes sense to order from the Eu, or opened packages as they handle the whole affair from Nkon to your door.

Yes Nealh, you are right, did the maths, fractionally cheaper for a lot more risk, dilvery time and hassel... Not worth it

Nkon it is!

2500mah high drain HE2 is on offer and 2900mah PF is very well priced for a 10a cell at or about 3000mah.

I think I will go for the 30Q. 15 Amps per cell of which I need 3.75 so sag should be down at values I can live with. 158 € shipped for a 4P10S + 37 € for the kit.

There are not many genuine Samsung 12 Ah batteries on the market for 195 €. Add in a 10 Ah LiPo range extender when it is needed that is 20 Ah on tap!
