Who has the cheapest good 18650 batteries?

I said cheap GOOD!

endless-sphere.com has good battery building threads with resources and links to proven good sources. This isn’t really a very good DIY forum. Not many pack builders here. Also a few good groups on Facebook.

Good proven cells are still around, 29E is an example of a less expensive but reliable. PF series as well.

Almost forgot, there’s a guy in the EU selling new batteries salvaged from Bosch packs. Reliable, and dozens of reviews. Cheapest brand name. Tumich is the posters name on endless sphere.

Sanyo NCR 18650GA 3450mAh/10A [BRAND NEW], 3,39$/each,
>200 pcs 3,29$/each; >400 pcs 3,19$/each

I spent a lot of time trying to get the best for less, this is what i found
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...600.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.15aa8c1eC3wuSz
I got a 24 volt, 30 amp hour lithium for under $500 CDN at the door. a lot cheaper American, just make sure you order the battery pack you want with LG batteries! costs a little extra but worth it
About 4 months in the Canadian winter and no issues
Hope that helps

As long as you're not in the 3% failure rate you'll be happy, but if you are, well you have a pretty plastic brick. Been there, done that...
