Well... I really didn't want to share because I was hoping to snag all these myself :wink:, but I've already got 100s of good 18650Vs so I'm going to spend my money building a stupid tab welder instead. Anyway... it seems that the Ingersoll Rand IQv lithium toolpacks have the Sony US26650VT cells in them. I've emailed them to confirm 7s in their "19.2v" pack as the charger max voltage is 29.4v, which is consistent with 4.2v/cell @ 7s. These cells have 50A max current and 2.5ah... ES member drewjet built a pack with them awhile ago so maybe he'll chime in... anyway... here's an ebay listing for some right now:

The seller is very responsive and said he has 1,300 of them and doesn't need them all... he added his Ingersoll Rand toolpack source and a closeup of the cell text for me within a day. Even with unknown cycle life $2.75/cell seems reasonable and I bet he could be talked down with a bulk buy.
Anyway... happy shopping!! Wish I wasn't married to my stupid little 18650s! :lol: *sigh*
