okay I open one up and there is good news and bad news based on my previous assumption .
1. there no 8 cells , there is 7 so instead of 2300 X 8 there is 2600X7,I kinda expected that since i never seen a 18650 with 2300 mah capacity . the cells date is 2016 Feb 2. bad news is the manufacturer of the cells is made by FST made in china cells though I am 100% sure there are not fake, they don't feel so. I kinda wished if they are samsung or LG but still one thing i noticed it has DW01 chip ( with 3 MOSFETs near it ) which I don't like since the cut off voltage is 2.5v which is too low but I guess this is just as an extra protection since there is also 3 more ICs . right now I am still measuring capacity. stay tuned for more accurate capacity testing .... |

Yes, 18650 cells. I just tested about 6 cells and each cell is about 2900mah average. Even though the batteries are stating they are 2600mah.
edit: Here is a video that I made on the breakdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFR2Jo |

Read OP's post....you found the newer model...([email protected]) Old one on clearance is 1USB@[email protected]
Damn. I got baited again by another WM YMMV deal. Showed up to Fremont store, where it said they had 9 in stock @$4. No associates anywhere to be found...waited 25 min w the other customers looking for any sign of help. Finally when ass. is found they immedialy divert attention to other associates who give the crappiest escuses for why its not there and that they need a "gun" to use SKU or item numbr. After 4 different associates, none could help and said there is no clearance stuff in the back. I'm tapping out of these WM scavenger hunts...im like 0 for 8 and lots of wasted time.

BP one is sold out, I just left there about an hour ago. Industry is sold out too
I have a Newtrent and a PNY that hold a charge for months.
Some other cheap ones didn't hold a change even a week, threw them out.
