LiPo Cell Supplier UK

[samsamm777]

Does anyone know of a good LiPo supplier which ships to the UK, or is UK based? I want to be able to purchase LiPos in various dimensional sizes, capacities and shapes etc. All i can seem to find is hobbyist/RC/drone websites selling cells, but at silly prices.

Image for reference, i dont mean to insult your intelligence by providing a picture of a lipo. haha.


Any help is much appreciated.

What capacity.form factor and quantity are you looking for? Random non specific enquiries will just get you random vague replies.

As i said, im looking for a supplier who carries various form factors, and capacities. I dont have specific requirements, i just want to know a supplier who has a wide range of cells which i can choose from.

My question was not random, nor non-specific. I specifically asked for a supplier which carries various sizes and capacities.

And yet you choose to poo poo the likely largest non industrial quantity supplier with the most diverse range available that will sell you one cell for a price.

In Oz we have several direct to user industrial battery suppliers and they are a lot more expensive than the hobby industry for one offs BUT they have a better range and will generally carry several name brands of cells with appropriate specs. I am sure the UK will have similar options but they will come at a price.

Perhaps you should take a reality check a $2-3 cell no one is going to bend over to help you short of taking pot luck on Aliexpress or Evilbay.

Better than zero backup and generally ok for getting an issue resolved https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batteries-chargers/batteries/lipo.html

There is also Alpha Micro.  Depending on your quantities they will get them custom made for you too.

I asked you a civil and sensible question and it was you who snapped back and acted like a pompous twit so you got a response in kind. Don't project your failings and hurt feelings on others!

What you have 'found' is almost certainly not a manufacturer of cells but a RESELLER half way around the planet making packs. You may as well have stated I found Ali Express and go trawling there for Cells or Packs. Not a bad option but it won't be fast and it will come with risks of dud cells or packs before you get to the logistics of shipping Lithium cells around.
