Massive fraud on 18650s in the Littokala Aliexpress stores!

@WITL, not in my case. The seller was displaying authentic 30Qs and as of a week ago, that was still the case.

It's confusing but some posts in this group provide links to 'reliable' stores with pictures that are of the counterfeits!

Actually when it comes to VTC5A, the seller was showing a mix of real and fake. Even clearly visible uneven wraps.
This was the only image which clearly showed serial numbers….

But yes, I think my case was easier than yours.
Maybe you also received some pictures of the real cells that you can use?

I didn’t actually order any. I have bought VTC6 cells from the Sunway Store, and they seem legit. Lately, I’ve just been ordering from the US, as Ali is getting too risky it seems. I’ve also bought from Banggood, and they seem legit, but shipping here is getting difficult.

The more I read of this thread the better LiIon Wholesale looks.

For everyone’s info, I just looked at the LG HG2’s I purchased from this seller, and they are also fake. The serial numbers are all the same, and the wraps are badly uneven. This was the first, and now last, cell purchase I made from this source. I have bought only from reputable dealers before, and will now only go back to them.

Be sure to review his store, and the cells accordingly. Save others from the headache

Is everyone getting refunded or is everyone getting screwed out of their money? I think I read 2 people got refunds and 1 didn’t get a refund? That’s kind of fucked up.

I opened a PayPal dispute… Haven’t heard a peep….

How did you pay via Paypal? I thought Ali didn’t accept that.

I think it depends on the seller… I know simon takes PayPal for convoy lights… But I wanted some other cheap item and that seller didn’t take PayPal…

I agree 100 % , I ordered 4 x 30Q’s from Liion Wholesale on Sunday and they arrived on Friday. Checked them on charger/tester, perfect. Only cost $3 more than Littokala.
No more waiting and worrying for me. :beer:

Crap. I’ve ordered these to convert a Makita Ni-Cd drill.

Did anyone test the 30Q with high amps? Are they any good?

I also do some battery pack overhauls, but why bother with 30Q cells in that case? The 25R is a very adequate cell, and thanks to its inherently low price and great supply counterfeiting chances are much lower (HKJ's reviews of recent 25R rewraps here and there).

Cheers ^:)

Because of greater capacity.
Hope someone will test them, because my amp meter is a 10 amps max.

Per cell, or overall 3$ more

Just had my first lot of LiitoKala 21700 4000mAh delivered.

I just got a full refund from Paypal. They said that due to the ‘unique circumstances’ they would refund me at no cost to the seller.

I now have 6 free batteries that work in everything I have put them in :slight_smile:

Ok, so I read that as Paypal is going to take the hit? They're going to release the money to the seller?

Thats how I read it too.

Oh joy I ordered 260X of these for my Ebike build via AliExpress through this link. I’m glad I paid with PayPal as I’m going to have to contest the purchase now. Looks like I need to pick up a high drain tester and a laser temp gun so I can get enough data to make my case for a refund.
