FandyFire 18650's...Fandy?!?!?

Two new batteries popped up today at DX with what has to be the worst *Fire name ever

"FandyFire"

It really makes you wonder what they were trying to say.

So obviously they are not 3600mAh, I wonder if there is a correlation between hugely inflated capacities being in reality very low.

I hate to think how bad they are!!!!!!!

DX say they are actually 2000mAh - wonder if that means that I'd get 1500mAh out of them?

Somehow I doubt it.

I dunno, can you change amp-hours in to explosive force?

My uncle spent 30 years making explosives in Europe's largest explosives factory. He'd have loved that comment too!

be-seen triker I am so offended at your racist statement against all Asians, including Phillipinos. Batteries in China are made under the tightest quality control, ESPECIALLY the typesetting. Only college-educated Subject Matter Experts, operating under extremely strict industry standards, are allowed to set those bubblejet shrinkwrap printer thingies and order pre-printed shrink wrapper, and declare specifications. Great efforts go to select children from an early age who show a propensity to be great future shrinkwrap wrapper typers. New battery brand names must be submitted and approved by the Ministry Of Fire-Name Derivations. I THINK they'd know what they're doing, hellooo!

Are you saying Asians would get confused with the difference between a "c" and a "d"?

If they WROTE Fandy, they MEAN Fandy! Don't know know what a Fandy is? Really, you've never heard of a Fandy? You've never bothered to even Google "Fandy" before writing your post? How dare you! EVERYONE knows what a fandy is, of course obviously except you.

It only took me 0.3 seconds of Google searching to come up with the authoritative, referenced definition of fandy:


A Fandy is found on slightly fat men with shaven pubic hair. The Fandy is only noticable when a man is sitting down, nude or pantsless.

As a consequence of the man's "little bit" of extra weight, when the man sits down, it looks like he has a chubby, shaved vagina.

When he took his pants off and sat down, I realised he had a big fat Fandy!

In China, only the wealthy and educated can afford to have Fandies. It is considered an honor to bear a Fandy. When you challenge the existence of a man's fandy, if he says he has one, it's also taken as a great dishonor, understandably so. I dare you to tell one of the typesetters at Sanyo that he doesn't know what a fandy is!

These batteries are protected, so your fandy will never catch on fire.

Despite the name. Don't believe them.

Big LOL :bigsmile:

:bigsmile:

Brjones you made me spray my drink all over my keyboard! That was classic!!!

Do you think naming your son Fandy would be a bad idea?

It seems they didn't want the sells to feel lonely...FandyFire Flashlight - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/fandyfire-501b-ssc-p7-3-mode-900-lumen-white-led-flashlight-with-strap-black-1-x-18650-57985

Yeah, because FandyFire cells will not fit in no FandyFire flashlights LOL :bigsmile: So here you go... Fandy's first flashlight that fits FandyFire li-ion (or whatever, don't know if they use li-ion :bigsmile: )

"Li-Ar PantsonFire" from DX forums...hahaha

That is something I really did NOT need to know. I just hope I can forget it...... I may need to buy something to help me get over it!

To be honest,you may express some but it sound like something low-grade.especially to the one can not get closed to the culture which you have.

A Chinese man's fandy is one hell of a lot closer to the culture than I care to be.

You know, I just don't care how "big" fandies are in China. I don't want to see them on fire. Or burning.

Maybe he/they are big flashaholics! :P

Well, what the hell. Someone DID name his son Fandy.

And look what it did for him.
