Cheap NiMH, NiCad and lithium coin batteries

[Gandalf]

I just found this website a few days ago. http://www.aspencer1.com/

They have a *huge* inventory of NiCads and NiMH rechargeables in many sizes and capacities. *Tons* of choices in AA NiMH batteries, from 1200mAH to 1700(!) mAH. Also, many battery chargers, too. They also have the 3 'common' sizes of lithium coin cells *really* cheap: 2016, 2025, and 2032, 36 for $15, plus shipping. I ordered 8 2700 mAH NiMH sub C cells to make some battery packs for my UltraStinger, and standard Stinger. They nicked me for $8 shipping, for 8 sub C cells, which is really steep

, But if they work out, it should increase the burn time on my UltraStinger to 90 minutes with no NiCad type problems. The lithium coin cells are at the very end of the NiMH battery section: click on the NiMH at the top left of the home page, go to page 4, and they are at the bottom. Photon users may want to split some orders; even with shipping, twice (the second time being at 'real world' rates

) They look like a good buy.
This is my first order with this outfit, so I'll let you know how it goes; you can't pay by credit card, which annoys me, but they take Paypal; I just don't keep much money in my Paypal account

I just hope it's not another Botach!

The prices look so good.... until you add shipping. In my book, that's kind of a red flag, but we'll see....

I was just about to ask where I could get batteries online when I don't have a credit card, then I noticed these guys have this big-*** PayPal banner on the bottom of their page. Now I know where to get those lithium coin cells so I can finish testing on some of these lights I have which are full of dead 2016's and 2032's.

PayPal might be a pain in the toliet muscle for some, but for me it's the only way I can play the game.

Yeah, Paypal can make some transactions, especialy from Ebay, really easy. The only problem I have, is that my credit has a $8500 limit, but Paypal only works up to the amount I have on deposit, and it takes 4 *banking* days

for the electronic transfer of money from my checking account, to my Paypal account. I wish paypal just used funds from my credit card, like when I first opened it; but they set a total, $250 limit on credit card use of Paypal.

When did Paypal set a spending limit? I've looked all over the site and can't find any reference to it.

There's a $100 receiving limit for regular accounts...

well i was looking at some of the chargers at the site and they want like 20 bucks for the c142s. i know it comes with the car cord but still thats way high when thomas charges 8.90 for theirs. i think tomas distributing has a little bit better deals on some of there stuff.
