Wow , DX had a sale , and I thought OK , lets waste some money [ hint hint ] , and buy some real crap batteries and see just how much there on the nose !
I charged up the cells , and then discharged at 500mAh , now the label clearly states 1200mAh for the capacity [ yeah , thats a long shot ]
Cell 1 / 384mAh @ 500mAh discharge rate to 2.99v
Cell 2 / 305mAh @ 500mAh discharge rate to 2.99v
I just dont know what to say , so many new "CRAP" batteries coming onto the market , I wish DX would VET the rubbish from the goods it stocks ..
So much effort put into making a turd look nice [ well wrapped ] .
If I sound a little miffed , then your getting the jest of my rant .
If on-line dealers want to upset customers , stock rubbish , push crap on unsuspecting people [ noobs ] , as well as damage there own reputations , then stocking the fandyfire 14500 is the thing to do ...
Bottom line , these batteries are Rubbish in the best tradition , congratulations Fandyfire for putting your name to such junk , making outlandish capacity claims , and monumentally failing to deliver a even half decent battery ... [ my humble opinion ]
So who ever is responsible for these batteries , you deserve bad fortune , and a miserable new year in the finest Chinese tradition .
Happy New year everyone ...
