Frequently Asked Questions
How are price changes handled on repeat orders?
{K} pricing is reviewed against input costs and volume rather than adjusted casually. Any change is confirmed in writing before the next order is scheduled, with the reason stated so you can judge it yourself.
How should 21700 battery be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light are the two things that shorten shelf life fastest. Rotate stock by batch code rather than by arrival date, and keep cartons off concrete floors in humid warehouses.
Is there a warranty on 21700 battery?

Yes, and we encourage it for larger programmes. Visits are most useful when you already have a draft specification, because you can then check the specific processes behind the numbers you care about.
