...i dont think you can find 18650's for under $10 in canada $15 average per cell is what I've found. I've also found my local shop (which i hate) has the same prices so i usually go there to save on freight.

Anywhere selling for $10 CAD shipped I would be very suspicious about them being genuine Samsung or LG. I've worked somewhere that bought wholesale batteries from Samsung and our unit cost was almost $9, not including our own overhead.

Ok , was just high hopes I suppose , lol imr sells those for about $6usd , (but the shipping is like $40!)

thought/hoped maybe we had a similar bargain on this side of the border ..

Thank you @just_the_flu and @Elfgrin

Anyone know of other brand 18650's that work good and abit less $$ or is it best to stay with major 3 for our kind of application ?
