My replacement arrived last week and it is the other one with the LG batteries inside.
It even is marked as LG on the label.
It works perfect I cycled it a dozen times with different loads and stuff and I am amazed.
Battery protection kicks in on a bit over 3V and it charges them to 4.35V. Discharge capacity over 10Ah.
The only thing Someone could not like is it does not charge on a 1A USB power supply it pulls down the voltage and then stops charging.
I have not found a test of this battery yet but HKJ did a test on one which is named the same with a green wrapper. LGABE11865 Review
I (of course) got some fake Xiaomi 16000mAh power bank also.
The sign was clear from I opened the package with 3x power banks in it. They had not the security tag that you can scratch and check on Xiaomi website.
The plastic wrapping on every power bank was open at the seal.
The front had “big” holes to the lights, The colors of the USB ports was wrong. Then I opened one up, and I found 5 pink batteries without any marking at all. I also took of the plastic wrapper of one to see if there was any other wrapper under, but it’s just a metallic battery.
I took the PCB and the “chips” has no markings, except a little one with the marking: SS84.
And you can see how little my PCB is compared to the real Xiaomi power banks. It missing the whole right side.
Here is my pictures. Somebody know what type of batteries thees are? No marking except a date 2015.07.03
I’m currently have put 4 of them on my BT-C3100 to test them, but of course, it’s fake. What do you bet the battery capacity will be? It’s around 3-5 hours before the testing is over.
Same color, I will check (I have the 26 F M batteries), but they are totally unmarked. And then my test will show max 2600mAh = 13.000mAh.
But if it’s samsung 26F, it’s not so bad deal. But of course, how safe to use it? With that small PCB board compared to the real ones. No safety there I bet.
That genuine samsung wrapp really scares :) But I got lot of genuine ones from FT and they are probably the best bang for buck... Why would anyone buying xxx fire cell when they can get genuine samsung?
I was referring to this is yet another fake product I have got the last week. Not to the OP. But instead of opening my own thread I used this one, since they had tore down their power banks also, so we had pictures of the real deal, and mine, that is not real.
LOL, the batteries is NOT Samsung 26F - they have only around 1000mAh on them. So the actual total mAh of the “16.000mAh” power bank is around 5000mAh.
I did some research prior to ordering from AMAZON.COM. When the package arrived, I immediately knew it was fake. The power cord had Mi printed on it, the box did not have the scratch off symbol, the LED lights, and all of the symptoms already listed above. I was very upset!
After receiving credit for it, and Amazon not wanting it back, I decided to open it. I popped off the plastic end, and no screws. The entire guts just pushed right out. The batteries in mine had 2000 mAh printed on them. This made the 16000 mAh powerbank into a 10000 mAh powerbank. The batteries are garbage, the circuit board, if that is what one would call it was even more garbage. And to top it all off, it wouldn’t even work. The power cord broke off inside the USB outlet.
Needless to say, I wasn’t very impressed. I will try and buy again from Xiaomi direct or maybe Bangood. I wojld prefer the 4.35v 3200 mAh cells in mine. I will see if I can post photos.
