Wow, really ?? Presumably that was air and not sea shipping ?Jnice said:

I had an order to Australia shipped out in 2.5 months ago that still hasn't arrived!
Not uncommon from my experience.Hyena said:
I recently had an order from NKON take over 2 months and 15 annoyed emails from me before it arrived with NiMh labelling after being stuck in Singapore most of the time.

I'm making a pack up for another person who had his cells arrive in about three weeks (via sea). My own cells took about 80 days.Hyena said:

I'm pretty sure these would have been by sea, I've found it extremely difficult to purchase cells shipped by air to New Zealand. I've read a lot get turned back as well. I to was surprised at the speedy delivery. a lot could depend on the freight forwarding company used and what else is being sent and to where. i could have got lucky.

Did you see any official source naming them like that?markz said:
I could find few "Data sheets" of unknown precedence, but they refer to the cell as LG 18650 MG1. Did see INR prefix only in some unofficial seller sites and forums but it could have spread just from 1 single misunderstanding.
I hate mystery.

I could very well be mistaken then.
parabellum "Did you see any official source naming them like that? "
No I did not see any official source. I just assumed, so more then likely I am totally wrong...... yet again.
Earlier this Batterybro blogpost said INR was the same as NCA in the table at the top, while further down in the description of each chemistry instead it said INR was the same as NMC. So they didn't even agree with themselves what chemistry INR actually was, as the content of this blogpost was contradicting itself.riba2233 said:
I know this because I actually emailed them a couple of times with a few months in between pointing this out, without them doing anything about it at the time, or even bothering to reply. The last email I sent was in April 2016. But apparently now they have finally changed their article to at least not contradict itself.
Here's what I wrote in the email to them:
But I agree that Samsung INR cells are NCA chemistry, so the blogpost is still not correct on this matter, unless the Samsung datasheets are stating a wrong chemistry, but I doubt that.
For example the Samsung SDI INR18650-25R datasheet clearly states this battery has NCA chemistry: https://www.powerstream.com/p/INR18650-25R-datasheet.pdf
However this Samsung 25R cell is listed as an example as an INR - NMC cell in the blogpost.
Not sure if any INR cells are actually NMC cells, does anyone have any example of NMC chemistry cells makred as INR? Any datasheet references or other documentation?

Yes I have read people are getting their batteries from Canada and the USA. I believe the average time is 1 to 2 months. Its cheaper shipping that way.

I ordered from tumich last year and no problems. It's up to you if you want to take the risk of shipping without insurance as stated clearly.

Sea freight times are totally dependant on "consolidated" freight timing and which ship departure that may catch and any container transshipment movements.
it doesnt take many days of bad weather, port delays, quarantine, etc etc, to make the difference of many weeks for package transit times.
Mine took 90 days to Sydney

Hello,
Could somebody give any feedback about Samsung INR18650-35E cells? I am interesting mainly in the failure rate.
Thanks in advance!

You need to PM him if you want a reply and read FIRST post for current prices and what cells are available.wmj259 said:

I ordered about 450 cells. By the time they got here, both boxes looked like bags (had to ship in two boxes due to the number of cells). One "box-turned-bag" ripped open and about 20 of the 450 cells were missing. Not enough to go through the brain damage of filing a claim with the shipping company but just worth noting. It seems that the box was opened (probably by customs or some other inspection authority) and they did a shit job taping it back together, thus compromising the box structure. From there, it got torn/punctured and the loose cells must have started falling out. I might need to grab a few more to finish my second pack.
BTW, the tear didn't appear to be Tumich's fault so I didn't even bother him with it. Just note that anything can happen after some hack in an inspection department uses a piece of scotch tape and bubble gum to reseal your precious goods.

That's not good news. Last time mine came through fine from the port on the East coast all the way to Alaska, but I just ordered 360 more. Hope mine fair better than yours. Sorry to hear that.

Had the exact same thing happen about two months ago, package was mutilated, cut open, taped up, and 12 cells missing. Though no fault of tumich, he took care of it anyway!

Hi Tumich, I sent the photos to your email. Didn't mean to cause extra work on your part. I just wanted others to know that no matter how well we think we package something, overseas shipping is often subject to some guy with a box cutter!
