I'm looking to replace the stock battery in my UE Boombox with a higher capacity 18650 cell, but aren't sure where to buy them.

I've looked through some forum posts but haven't really found anything on where to just buy the cells without a charger.

Has anyone done this upgrade and has bought decent batteries from somewhere? or has bought higher capacity 18650 cells for something else and knows somewhere that sells reputable ones?

Looking for unprotected as the Boombox battery caddy has a protection PCB on it.

I'm most likely looking at buy this so far: Amazon Link

  Got mine from Fasttech. http://www.fasttech.com/category/1420/batteries

  The model I bought was this one which I used to build a DIY power bank.

  Make sure you avoid the "ultrafire" or whateverfire ones, they are poorly made generics with lower capacities.

    Thanks, just put one in! Haven't tested it for duration yet, but the install went pretty well.

    Also put one in one of my cree torches and the difference is night and day!

  I got some sanyo from banggood about a year ago for a torch. Was the cheapest i could find back then . Seem ok, reviews said genuine
