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.

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.

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

@luminarium iaculator

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

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

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 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

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 ...??

Even if they did that, I'd still buy this for $0.01 over and over again if only because it helps the US Postal Service.

Just charge them up and away they go….

[Boaz]

Look at it this way... when You recycle them ,maybe you'll find a nice drill pack or laptop battery

[Buster_Friendly]

Mine arrived yesterday from a UK warehouse, that was fast!

This is not the worst Ultrafire I have ever had either. It weighs in at 40g. Another pair of other Ultrafires I have only weigh in at 38g.

All in all, worth 27p!

[Ice]

I wonder if you can fish with these ?

They seem like perfect bait for a sucker .

:P

EDIT: My more trusted UFs also do NOT have engraving on the bottom.

[Flomotion]

Wow, mine even has Ultrafire laser cut on the Neg. end …
