10 cells, 18650 Samsung 25R, $40 shipped

[Mimic Knife & Tool]

I’ve got 20 18650 Samsung 25R cells that I harvested. They are 2500mAh charging at a full 4.2V.
Price is 10 cells for $40 shipped or all 20 for $70 shipped. Thanks for looking!

Sorry... feel the need to comment. Maybe I'll get in trouble. It is incredibly dangerous to use cells harvested from a designed device. These are bare cells without protection devices or a BMS to protect the cells, the device, or the end user. It's also illegal to ship unless you have dangerous goods shipping certification... I design Li-Ion battery packs for a living, and this is scary.

Na man I’ll take your comment humbly. I am aware that unprotected cells can be dangerous. I was unaware about the shipping… just thought it had to be ground shipping. I’ll look this up and take the post down if necessary. And these comments can serve as a caution for everyone. I should have named these clearly as unprotected cells and given my own caution at least, my bad. Thanks

Much appreciated. Yes, shipping lithium requires a lot of red tape... I design military grade battery packs, I'm an engineer and still had to do 16 hours of training in the last two months to learn how to ship batteries properly, and shipping cells vs. packs vs. end use equipment has a ton of regulation and different requirements. There may be ways around it, but there are a lot of labeling requirements and paperwork needed for UPS or FedEx to take it ground. Anyway, thanks man, sorry for crapping on your thread
