I'm actually using my wifes camera, she was gone for the weekend so I didnt have access to one when I sent the email. This guy knows he is selling fakes and is just wanting me jump throught the hoops, hoping to get to the 45 day cutoff. I just looked at the paypal transaction and he only refunded 2 of them. I sent him another email lets see how it goes. Here is another pic of all 6 I think the theory of them being recycled is pretty valid. Out of 6 cells none are the same!
Ooopps ... Blue beam states the very obvious .... I fell out of my chair on that one ..
Welll.. he meant for chinese vendors who are selling known fakes who are purposefully jerking you around ..He didn't have a digital camera available ,,,>> meaning it was in the other room and might need the battery charged .

Out of 6 cells none are the same is very scary... but he didn't know .. because they were for manufacturer use .. yeah right .. those dang manufactureres use lots of bad batteries
Langcjl, Yes they where all the same wrappers, the standard red/black Ultrafire 3000 BRC. I would like to propose this, anyone who has some bad or dieing cells to open up the wrappers and post some pics before sending them off to be recycled. It might be interesting too see whats really inside maybe start a database? It looks like there was NO attempt at removing the factory markings.
So I wonder, how many of the Ultrafire / Trustfire / Whatever fire are fakes? It looks to me that there are more Fakes out there than the real thing. I would love to get my hands on some Genuine Ultrafire 3000's if such a thing exists (not saying their any better but it would be fun to see)
BRC 3000 mAh is old news, BRC 4000 mAh is the new thing: http://www.buyincoins.com/details/1-x-uf-18650-3-7v-rechargeable-battery-4000mah-with-tab-product-3059.html
I made some complaints for batteries and i absolutely hate when they tell me:
These batteries were made for manufacturer use. The quality may not as good as the branded batteries, but the difference of capacity should not be this much.
I bought some 18650 Ultrafire 3000's cells off Ebay<< ?? ouch ...
I'm only trying to warn others
Ebay and batteries is a BAD mix
junk chargers and ebay are a bad mix
ultrafire 3000 batteries are garbage and everybody on the planet knows it ..
if you don't know it ..learn it right here ,Everyone hates this battery ..i think they hate the real ones not just the fakes ..i am pretty positive this battery hasn't ever gotten a real decent review... If anyone ever says made for manufacturers use...RUN . it means Junk . There are places to be cheap , there are places you can get away with spending less or cutting corners ,healthcare ,tires ,brakes and batteries aren't those places .
Chinese batteries stink ... Japan makes and has always made the best batteries in the world ..
only buy batteries that are made in Japan .... and you'll be a happy camper :p
I bought 20 Panasonics for $41 shipped that's hard to beat
Kids .. this is the deal on batteries ... they are unprotected ..So don't put them in the toaster or play crazy lets experiment games with them .. show some respect to these and they will probably impress you .. the price is unbeatable
