5000mAh Li-Ions have arrived... 10000mAH is within our grasp in the not-too-distant future...

its cocaine :slight_smile:

Very cute scaru.

If you google basically anything you can find a smiley for it.

Scaru is a googly google guy :slight_smile:

to go with the BLF edition lights……. just have to get the same company that printed up those fake shrink sleeves above

Definate fakes mAH should be mAh.

What’s happening is that drug cartels are getting too smart for their own good. Rather than smuggling cocaine in 18650 cells that don’t actually work (bulk lots of cells reading at 0v would be suspicious), they’ve managed to actually cram a tiny bit of energy into them as well. The problem is that someone, somewhere, has, as a result, mistaken them for marketable consumer products. This explains two things: the terrible performance, and the pictures above.

True story!

Group buy! Custom label should read "10,000 mEH".

Yeah… that’s what they mean!

Very interesting link Blord. thanks

+1 (I shoulda’ thought of this one :frowning: )

According to latest international electrical code labeling :wink: - once the claimed capacity of counterfeit batteries rises >200% above potential capacity, the lowercase “h” is capitalized to emphasize the absurdity

LMAO@the white powder!!! :smiley: Did you smell it? Add it to water? Heat it up? Any guesses? lol!

Anybody tried the 4000mAh ‘gold’ Ultrafires that are going on eBay? (£9.95 for 4 shipped)

I ordered them before I did my research and they just landed today. I’m still waiting on my Hobby charger to arrive so can’t test them but I know they must be fakes from what I’ve read so far. I’ve contacted the seller as I’m doubly brassed off that he advertised as being UK yet clearly works out of China. Worth keeping or time to test the paypal dispute system?

On principal, get a dispute going, they won’t be what they claim, trust me.

In the mean time do some reading in the battery section, then buy some keep power 3400 cells…

I’m going to see what his response is and take it from there. If I manage to get something back I might have to drop CM2010 a PM re the ones he’s got going.

The seller replied with 11 hours and agreed to a full refund :slight_smile:

He didn’t even ask for the batteries back so I’m going to give them a test once my charger is set-up (and my lipo bag has arrived!)

Be sure to take plenty of photo’s, put up a post including the seller id and all your findings, information is power.

I do need to get some magnets and make up some leads for my hobby charger or mod some battery boxes into charging cradles, be interesting to see just how bad my brc ultrafires really are…

Beginning to wonder if the AW cells I’ve got are Fake now, as just don’t seem to cut it.

If that is false, what can I find here?

looks like someone been smuggling in ultrafires… did you rub it on your gums?
