Golly gosh erco!
You sure can derail and hijack a thread faster than a jackrabbit on a date!

Ahhh, but your simple Jedi mind tricks have been revealed and neutralized.

/return to thread original intent:

We're think of bundling this board with two 18650 cells included, and getting the price down as low as we can - we anticipate it'll be especially popular in classrooms.

The board works with both protected and un-protected cells, and very safely too. We're currently looking for a good supplier of inexpensive cells - any input you'all would have is hereby solicited.

In fact, the Forumista that gives us the source of a good supplier, good cell, and good price will get...

YES, IT'S ANOTHER CONTEST!!!

NOT ONE, BUT TWO !!! Lion Boe Bot Power Packs!

The cell must be inexpensive, have good availability and reasonable capacity and reliability. Yes, we'll continue to offer our high quality cells as well, but we also recognize the need for a lower cost solution too.

GAME ON!!!

Have you checked with your new partners, Radio Shack? They currently don't have them listed but what a great business synergy to leverage. You guys have Lion chargers for sale...they are a place that (used) to be known for batteries! Maybe they can get them in LARGE quantities but haven't had a reason until now?

I would have thought that in thhe quantities that you require, that you would just order them from the manufacturer. A few years ago the MOQ for Gold Peak NiMH cells was 1000.

See what quote you get at http://www.houseofbatteries.com/ , they have may kinds of 18650 cells. Since Parallax in a great CO and all, you'll prob. get a better rate than the regular joe.
