Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Andrew

I have used these Lithium Ion rechargeables in serveral projects.
they are available in a number of sizes and voltages.
The basic battery - 18650 or 26650 are 3.7v.
single cells or combination of cells are available
here with capacities upto 8000mA/h.
