Sony US26650VT Li-ion Cells - Need More info

Duhhh okay thanks alot, i totaly got it. Its just like a 3s2p config. flat but with the back 2 cells on top. Totaly makes sense. Im def. gonna have to order some because these are gonna be perfect. esp. when i wire up some 2s2p packs to run in my brushless supervee. Now i just need to figure out a way to make them water proof.
Would the plastic caps that come on the 6cells stick packs fit on the end of these or is the diameter that much bigger than nimh? If they worked some good shrink film. those end caps and some shoogoo would prob work perfect.
Metal man thanks again.
and sorry for officialy jacking the thread everybody ;)

NiMh sub-c end caps unfortunately won't fit (24mm OD sub-c, 26mm OD A123).
My packs are all built with strapping tape holding the cells together and 2 layers of shrink wrap on the outside.

anyone know were to get these? i cant seem to find any. I even emailed the guy that sells them on ebay, over a week ago and no response. I know there old cells but jeez.

Didnt someone say in another thread they could get them in europe? I've search before but only turned up the ebay ones- try googling the part #.

I do that on a daily basis. the onlt thing that pops up is it looks like the a123 cells that were dewalt packs were relaced with theses sony cells. I even emailed a company that said they had them and they responded they didnt have them any more.

Fair do's. Hopefully they are something fairly new that is in short supply, rather than an older item that has been phazed out, if you get my meaning...

Well, I did some more digging, and it turns out that A123 cells pretty much superceded these batteries. However, if you type one of these search terms into google:

US26650VT, US 26650VT, US26650 VT, US 26650 VT, Konion 26650VT, Konion 26650, Konion 2500mAh

you suddenly get loads of good results. Mainly from the Konion search term- these are for sale in europe, mainly germany. Have fun guys if you are after getting some of these.

well it seems dewalt to save some money is now putting these cells in there dewalt packs.
After lots of research it seems, US is for the american market
26650 is the cell size. but heres the biggie. the vt i think is what makes these high discharge cells. I could be wrong but thats my hunch, i have read some stuff on sony 26650 cells and they dont all have 10c discharge rates.

Do you have any idea if these cells are still to buy somewhere? I'm using them quite a long time and they are soooo damn good for everyday bashing... But can't find anything near, anyone still have email of guy who was selling 25 packs?

this is the seller
http://myworld.ebay.com/wbeer123&ssP...MEFSX:SELLERID
i emailed him over a month ago and he never responded. and i check every few days and he never auctions anything. So im sure his account is pretty inactive.

Hi,

can anyone of you tell me where I can get those cells? I don't care about what country they are from.

I'm thinking about putting 5s2p in my Maxx.
