Did anyone try the batteries of the Basen Store on Aliexpress ?
I have received a few of the LG HG2 and the Samsung 30Q and they look genuine but where quite cheap. I still need to test the LG HG2 in my charger, though.
Just remember that an analyzing charger is fine for measuring capacity but not for checking authenticity. There’s plenty of fakes around with a genuine capacity but shows its true colors on a high load.
Hey everyone new here. I saw this forum and decided to try 8 vtc6 batteries from 18650 Canada. Ordered them 2 weeks ago and they haven’t been shipped yet. I wrote an email 3 days ago and no response. We will see but he’s starting to look like a scam to me. Anybody ordered from them and been successful?
I placed an order on saturday and got my tracking number today… Placed a small order because it is my first time with them. Right now, the VTC6 is backorder on their website.
doesnt fasttech have free international shipping? im canadian, but i think thats everybody’s best bet. their batteries are not particularly expensive either. i havent bought any yet, but i assume they are genuine, they seem to be fairly reputable in here?
FastTech has a lot of shipping restrictions around batteries - while it may say “Free shipping to XYZ” on the listing page, when you get to checkout there may not be any usable shipping options for lithium-ion batteries to that country. So they don’t really cover everyone.
oooh, you’re right! i havent actually gotten to buy anything yet, stuff is just sitting in cart, waiting on their halloween sale. i just tried now, the vapcell 26650 ones couldnt be shipped…damn it
@BlueSwordM hey, shouldnt vapcells AE store also be listed for Canadians? im assuming they should be genuine batteries if its their official store. i just checked it out, their other brand batteries are not cheap at all, but their own, especially 26650s, pricing seems fairly reasonable at around 8-11 CAD per? and shipping starts at less than 6 CAD, of course its not very friendly when you wanna buy like 10 20 or even more, as the shipping fee stacks linearly, but its still a good source for canadians to get quality 26650. i dont even know where else we can get them at all? the only other place i found so far is 18650battery at 9 USD per vapcell G53, and their shipping is like 20+ USD
hey.
this stors don’t even mention the brand of the cells in the description (you can only see the pics and hope)
AliExpress Lucky Electronics Store
AliExpress Aliya’s Battery Store
so i am wondering if they are still selling a genuine cells.
thanks!
Lucky Electronics has been my supplier for 4 years without one fake in over 5000pcs
It’s against AliExpress rules to state the brand for the big battery brands , this was covered already in previous pages
im confused,
i only asked this cos what you said:
“How is it a scam when nowhere do they mention Panasonic. You’re kind of asking for it when you go for a cheap price.
Yes, they’ve used the Panasonic wrap but these are details you need to be aware of. These are all over the place now. They claim 100% original but this is referring to the brand like Liitokala, Varicore etc.
I made the same mistake when these were first introduced to the market 5yrs ago but I purchased 50pcs. I was pissed at first but realized when I went to open a dispute that Panasonic was never stated.”
so now you are saying it dosnt matter anymore?
thanks.
I’ve been buying from Aliya’s Battery Store for a while and never got fake cells!
I’ve ordered from them several times, mainly Sony VTC6, Sanyo 14500s, Sanyo 16650s, Sanyo 18650s, always without issues!
And they ship them well, and fast!
My friend, here we are… at BLF. We got to trust fellows BLF-ers especially in this case OP (BlueSwordM). I have used Lucky and Aliya batteries. So far, myself and other BLF-ers, have never hear a complain of receiving fake cells from them.
yea i hear you,
but trusting BlueSwordM is not the issue, ofc i trust BLF members.
the issue i have is with those stors.
i was just trying to get an update about those sellers as i saw Funtastic mentioned (few post back) some thing about the way sellers choose to title the batteryes,
like if they dont even mention the brand, how can it be real,
so when i saw the battery description my self, i was wondering.
but reading the replays from yall was real help!
will order ASAP,
thanks alot!
its a legal thing, AE doesnt allow them to list them under those brands.
according to vapcell store rep in another thread:
“But Ali-express does not allow Sanyo brand because there is no power of attorney”
im assuming its applicable for all other stores and brands, but thats also why some stores can take advantage of this and sell fake batteries, because its hard for buyers to distinguish.
hard for buyers to distinguish?
lol its impossible, i mean how can i ever know without asking here in the forum?
well reviews, compare the reviews of lucky, aliya, vapcell to reviews of other random battery stores, you will see.
Yeah, no worries.
I still order cells from them for friends(from Aliya’s store mainly), and I test them every time, and they’re always the same or better than my original cell order back from 2019.
Therefore, I still trust them.
Seems like Sofirn ships batteries to Canada (untested).

If this is true, then they would be a very inexpensive source of decent batteries for Canadians. The cells wouldn’t be your high drain D4V2 cells but they’re probably pretty decent for other mid drain lights.
I asked them about it since many other stores don’t ship to Canada and the respondent was confused at why I even asked such a question.
I ordered a pair of Shockli 5500mAh 26650s from Banggood on Dec. 5 and they showed up on Dec. 30th so pretty quick delivery considering the time of year. Funny enough, I had an Amazon order that took longer to get to me and that was entirely within Canada. 
Anyway, at least Banggood will ship these cells across the pond.
