Deal Alert: Tmart CrapFire 18650 for $0.01 (Ended)

[LIght_Of_Day]

Thanks for the heads up on this deal.
I just ordered one and if it were not for the directions about going through paypal first I may have given up in trying to apply the coupon code. Now it’s just a waiting process. It shouldn’t take very long if they ship from the USA.

I’m ordering one just for laughs, maybe blow it up by overcharging. >)

I will admit that I previously ordered tons of crappy fire brands(ultrafire, spiderfire, uniquefire, fandyfire, thrustfire, GTL, etc.). I had all possible issues( low mah, unable to charge fully, overcharged, some smoked while charging) but they did never exploded.

Now I would not want them even if someone gives me 1000 pcs for free.

They could actually work good in 1A lights if they are good ones.

[Flomotion]

Well, I did it, too, as info in OP, and whammo J) :party: It works… :heart_eyes:

Maybe it would be a good idea to cut the wrapper off and see if there are markings on the can.

There is a sort of myth on the forums (I think it is a myth) that the only ok chinese battery is the Trustfire flame. My personal guess is that all those ****fire batteries are of comparable quality (not great, just ok) but that the market is polluted with rewrapped (often 'Ultrafire') disposed batteries from old electrical equipment. If you avoid ebay you're probably ok in most cases.

HKJ tested Ultrafire batteries that came directly from Ultrafire plus two vendors. They all had the inconsistent results we expect from Ultrafire. I've only seen one okay Ultrafire result, and that was for the 26650 that had a label very similar to the Trustfire flames 26650.

I hope this isn't a scam like the XXX eneloops ....

I don't want to have to get into a paypal dispute and wait forever for my penny back.

[spaceboy]

I only looked at this thread because I thought it might really be branded “Crapfire”. Disappointed.

LOL!

I feel the same way…had to open a dispute when I didn’t receive my $5.94 meter from T-mart!!

Coupon has expired. It says it could only be used 50 times.

[FMcamaroZ28]

Even for a penny…. I don’t want it.

Got one. Thanks for the heads up. $0.01 shipped is a pretty goods deal even if the battery is as bad as most Ultrafires.

[oRAirwolf]

Looks like the coupon code has been used up. I get an error saying the code could only be used 50 times.

I was going to order 300…Mostly just to waste resources.

[ohaya]

Same here “This coupon could only be used 50 times.”

I'm sure there's something they're good for. They could go in the solar lights in the yard. Or even buried in the yard as IEDs. :D

I did not know that HKJ had tested them, so Trustfire flames are indeed a bit more trustworthy than Ultrafire batteries, thanks for pointing out :-)

I too came here hoping that there was a product labelled CrapFire. My hopes were dashed.

It’s a little sad though that such a thing might be considered reasonable, but after all they have UniqueFire and FandyFire.

I think a better label for this one though would be ONfire

[Boaz]

The earlier TF flames were much better than the later ones . My old Dx 14500 TF flames are better than the newer fasttech 14500s.

I have some trustfire blue 18650's that came with 502B's from Dino direct that aren't all that bad for an el cheapo battery .

I wonder how they can afford to send these ...??
