Not really, when a cell is corroded and has marks from welding of battery pack strips, you do not really need more.
I will probably disassemble some good cells at a later date.
Funny that the 3000mAh wrapper is still around since you can get that and/or more quality as well as capacity from reputable brands :D
49% of the reviews on this Amazon site this gave the batteries a 5 star rating. I wonder how many of them are shills? Or is it “if it lights then the batteries are great” mentality?
Frighteningly enough
Most people are just not aware that they have been blatantly misled and lied to. Pretty much like 99% of everything that we buy from there. They can do anything they want, they are exempt from us law. And boy oh boy, do they ever run with it. :Sp

One of the guys I work with brought in a Trustfire light with a Ultrafire BRC 4800mah battery. I sent him some articles on how dangerous they were and he immediately tossed it. I gave him some Sanyo laptop pulls (measured at about 2000mah) and he was totally amazed at the increased runtime. Another guy had a Ultrafire 14500 in his sk68 that had a runtime of about 5 minutes. I tested it at home and it measured out at 100mah. Gave him an A&W I had lying around and he was also impressed by the increased runtime.
Both are technical guys (a DBA and a network engineer) so luckily they were open to articles and reasoning. Took less than 5 minutes for them to see the light (pun intended :laughing:
My 2 good deeds this year.
I already advised peoples stay away from any Ultrafire batteries many years ago. They are extremely dangerous!
Unfortunately I lost the link for how these batteries exploded & this guy went to ER eventually!

I sure hope someone at Tesla sees this. They can cut-down on the number of cells they need by 1/3. I bet it also sags less and has a longer cycle life. I see on one site that 9 sucker buyers have already jumped on it.
Can someone explain to me how they do this to people they do not even know? What kind of people are these? Its quite disturbing.
There is a very small decimal point ..... you just have to look very very closely
980.0 mAh
98.00 mAh
9.800 mAh
.9800 mAh

Awesome review! I’m happy I never wasted any money on these cells because I spent a lot of time on this forum before spending any money on 18650’s.
Thanks for the review. Does anyone know what BRC stands for?
Wow. Perhaps the Energizer Bunny is a member.
Yes, the last. It also has another typo, it must be μAh… 
BRC stands for anything you’d like it to mean really, since the entire wrapper is nonsensical: it does not really pertain to the battery inside at all, its just a wrapper purchased in mass quantities and shrinkwrapped over old cells or phoney cells with a capacitor in them in some cases.
I like to say it stands for “Brick” though: not only are they really bad capacity and cant deliver much current, but they also fail quickly and you get really few recharges before the dropoff in capacity renders them useless…when you buy these they’ll be bricks soon enough.
Bad, Rubbish & Crappy?
