Howdy Folks,

Anyone know who sells AW batteries?
LightHound was my go to spot, but they are no
longer around.

Thanks!

Unless things have changed, these are no longer available at all ....

EDIT - and I'll move this to the Batteries subforum for you, where the battery experts hang out ;)

Yep, RTD Vapor, who's an authorized US dealer still has the initial 'flooding memo' on their website and most of AW cells are out of stock and anything they may have is now approaching ~2 years, so not fresh stock.

Bummer, but there are other players to play with.

Damn, well that sucks!

I just need a button top 18650 for my
1000 lumen Fenix PD35.

Any recommendations?

Fenix sells their own brand of 18650's for around AW prices.
Mallkoff sells Keeppower, so I assume that's his preferred trusted brand.
I ordered some unprotected button top Panasonic's for my PD35 from Mtn Electronics.

Orbtronic cells have done well in testing by members here at CPF and elsewhere. I have purchased both 18650 an 16650 button top batteries from them and will buy from them again for whatever that is worth.

Here is a link for convenience: https://www.orbtronic.com/

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tim

No problems with Olight's 3400mAh 18650 from Prometheus Lights.
Keepower's 18350 IMR is performing well as the replacement for A&W 18350 IMR.

I have tried contacting Andy on several occasions the past 2 years to inquire about wholesale orders, and did not hear back from him. Many that I have spoken with, that knew him, said the same. An unconfirmed consensus was theorized that he has closed his battery business.
