Li-on AA cells
 
I have found a source for li-on 700mha AA cel's that would allow me to offer them for sale at $10.50 each.+shipping to your location.
these would be brand new not salvaged cell's.

the problem is the minimum order quantity would be a bit of a pinch on my wallet. also it will take roughly 3weeks to recieve my order directly from the battery manufacturer in china. so I am wondering what the interest lvl would be for these batteries.
would you be willing to be pre pay for a set of cell's ?

if the interest is high enough I will order these and I should have delivery in 3 weeks.

Here you go. One of the schematics indicates that it can be adjusted for 1 to 3 cells.

Charger
 
I dident say it was cheap.
but considering the usefulness of the device over the years you will be charging up various batteries I think it is quite resonable.
but the Triton charger certinly is not the only charger out there.

try these.

Cool, i've also done some reasearch on li-ion batteries, what's the voltage on those cells? Great research on the charger, also.

Desslok 02-11-2004 10:42 PM

Cell voltage
 
the cell voltage is 3.7v.

You could just get this li-ion kit from Atomic Mods.

I could purchase the loose cell's from him for 14.95 each tru.
but why would I want to buy scavanged cells with who know's how many charge/discharge cycles on them.
if you look at the picture attached you can easly see the tack welded battery tabs. these are from what ever origional pack the cell's were in. It's possible he is buying brand new battery packs for some phone or other that uses these cell's and then rips them apart to sell, that would explain the high price for the cell's I supose.

then there is the price, frankly it sux. I can see how many cells I could buy new for that 14.95 so I am curently saving up my $$ to make my first order prolly on the 15th of next month. I know I am going to want to have a bunch on hand for my own xmods and experiments. I have looked at AAA cell's 2 and there quite a bit more $$ per cel strangly and only have a 300mha capacity.

Yeah I like Robert and I have no problems with him and he is smart.
He also would be the guy to get them from if you do not want to hunt them down and tear apart packs yourself.
I still have a very hard time paying $14.95 for one cell.

Any word on your findings I have been searching long and hard too find these?

I would be very interested in these.

Wow, not bad, 1350 mAh and 3.6 V all for $4.95. :)

boxcrash 02-29-2004 09:05 PM

Too large, aprox 60mm long, the normal AA size Li-Ions are about 50-55mm.

RC 2NR 03-01-2004 06:34 AM

Yeah, they're too wide to. :(
