Fetching some information from various threads here and on RC forums it seems obvious that one of the best ways to find cheap and readily avaiable single cell Li-Ions is to rip apart Notebook and Cellphone battery packs especially when those can be found cheap at Surplus stores.
This post/thread is targeted at becoming a reference on which cells can be found in which packs and possibly people finding the right packs in surplus stores or on Ebay will post a short note and URL here then too.
Examples are the 830ma Panasonic 17500´s which could be found in the Qualcomm 820? cell phone packs last year and where sold off real cheap when the phones were discontinued - only to gain in price afterwards when the supply dried up as all the slowflyer guys snatched them up.
I think of most interest for us would be the
17345 (1 x 123 size)
17500 (2 for 3 123s)
17650/17670 for 2 x 123
possibly 18500 for enlarged bodies
The 18650s which are used most often will be hard to fit
TIA for any help / comments
