Royal Mail have recently changed the rules on what they will & will not allow to be posted. This has a serious effect for us as many of our products now fall into categories classed as "prohibited" or "restricted" by Royal Mail. Details of these restrictions are as follows:
Sealed Lead-acid batteries:
Royal Mail will still carry these as long as there is no more than one battery in any package & the weight of that battery must be no more than 1.5kg. This applies to UK domestic mail only, this type of battery is now prohibited from airmail post.
Lithium batteries (Lipo, LiFe, lithium ion etc):
Royal Mail will not carry these batteries to either UK or international destinations. Although Royal Mail rules allow for lithium batteries to be sent with equipment, in practice these rules are ignored & packages containing equipment with batteries are intercepted by Royal Mail & are destroyed.
I bought 10 of these cells to make a replacement battery pack for my 12v Drill-driver. The tabs all soldered together nicely with a little flux, and they certainly deliver plenty of power at the drill-head! Unlike the old Ni-Cad pack these should tolerate putting the drill away after only partially flattening the pack (Ni-MH vs Ni-Cad). I won't really know how good they are for another three or four years though!! (Posted on 07/03/2016)
I had tried other batteries to replace the battery in my Oral B toothbrush, but all were failing after just 1 or 2 days of brushing. The drop in voltage was too much for the brush' liking. On the web I found that it was this kind of battery (High Discharge) that I needed and with the replacement for this battery my Toothbrush now will hold for 10 days! So, happy customer here.
