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.
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.
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 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.
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 ^:)

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.
