Second batch of NOS pram batteries.

so long story short, this company in Chicago, they are a battery company, but they take on side projects as well.

They make these devices that detect water, if they do detect water, they start flashing a LED strobe,  and this kind of thing would be attached to life vests for cruise ships etc.

so anyways they had batches of 10,000 made up, and the customer never bought,  and they sat.

( in the warehouse )

Then they realized hey lets sell those. and couldn't for what ever reasons.

so they happen to contain a Lithium 3.6v 1/2 AA battery.

Anyways they are selling the whole units on ebay, that come with the flasher and super bright led and 

everything.

so last year i bought 100 /150,  due to time and other issues, i ended up cutting the batteries out and trashing the rest.

So anyways, I ran fresh out, so I decided to buy another 100.

this time he cut the batteries out for me... what a guy!! 🙂

if anyone wants some, they seem to be pretty decent!

I bought 2 lots of 50,  and he threw in a third for free.

Well if you don't want to buy lots of 50 from the guy he sells smaller lots.

15x for 16bucks free shipping.

I was thinking about including them free in re-caped main boards.

Oh gotcha, misunderstand your post.  Makes sense I would just order from him directly 😀  Thanks for the link..  How much do the batteries cost new?? Is this a good discount?

Well if you do some searches on ebay, you will see that he is 100 - 160% less then the cheapest battery offered.

Will he cut the batteries and send them without the LED assembly (as he did with you) if I mention your name?

No big deal if not. Just curious.
