18650 with JST connector ..wanted, any recommendations where to buy?

[Mr Gus]

2mm JST connector with a decent quality 18650 for a quick repair, .seem to be few & far between, want to test a pollution meter that went down a few weeks back (was monitoring the drain) for any gassing, & now the weather has hotted up, for outside (local tip, wind blowing) the mega-lightweight 18650 "or something else" seems to have crapped out (as the likely offender)

Anyone know anywhere that does non crappy pre-made? (protected singular required) the original claims to be a 1200 mAh 4.44Wh ..& it was rubbish for any form of longer monitoring (please & thankyou)

RS for a decent battery with tabs.

eg https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/speciali ... &gclsrc=ds

Or strip an old laptop battery and get a decent cell out of it.

[Mr Gus]

All my old but new laptop batteries were cannibalised ages back.

I guess i'll be ordering some tags from Ali & setting them aside (only needed a pair)
I have loads of decent samsung batts just no tabs, I guess it's time to unzip the suspected dodgy cell & bodge it then test the old one.

( £15 makes me balk, i'll just order in a few bits to be ready for the next one)

Thanks, will take a look at their life-po later, prices are good! thanks for the heads up.
And they seem to have a lifepo4 that may be able to be squeezed in! (just not able to add to basket)

Happy days.

[Mr Gus]

Just an update re that site..

No idea when Windbag used it last, suffice to say prices are good, contact is not.

Phone perma engaged.
"Captcha" to confirm AI bot stuff not working, ..thus emails can not be sent.

Prices are good but complaints are high, be aware.
