Anyone knows where I could purchase new 26500 li-ion rechargeable cells? AW stopped carrying them and I have a hard time finding another reliable source.

Thank you...

DX used to have them. I am not sure if they still do.
Quality and capacity is not as good but AFAIK that's the only choice for protected 25500
Protected one is about 54mm long.

I have 6 IMR 26500's with only a dozen cycles on them sitting in a box if you want them :)

Mate, I'm sorry to have gotten your hopes up but I forgot about this:

Sorry mate.

No worries I did realized this...looking for a friend in Sydney who could perhaps get them for me as I'm expecting a shipment from him soon. Will keep you posted...

Not sure about actual sources, but it seems that a few "vaping" suppliers stock the eFest 3000mAh IMR 26500s; these seem about the best "known/tested" available at the moment? The ones on DX, Fasttech etc still seem to be unknown quantities; the "5000mAh / 5500mAh" ones seem to be reviewing as only about 3000mAh if that, and no known supply/quality consistency
