Can you guys make picture like mine with label on it or label on bag to see part number and so called UN. They at DD are thinking if the UN number is correct then the batteries are corect, but they are wrong.
I'm a bit happy that I saved myself from this nonsense and canceled my order when I started to think it was to good to be true.
Especially with all the bad feedback DD received already, did people honestly believe they would ship the right goods at bargain bin prices?
Semi on-topic perhaps, but I don't get how people keep doing group-buys from these guys, knowing they don't live up to anything and keep going their shady ways...
Well in my case I have ordered protected batteries with charger combo and got wrong batteries twice. It was even before we all started with this deal - my first order was in the mid of September. So the problem isn't "to good to be true" but somewhere in their sistem is a person who doesn't distinct between the two - see post from 2100.
Tell them to send you what you ordered, being protected cells or give you a full refund. If they fail, open a paypal dispute/claim to get your money back. Wrong goods, not corrected by seller is good enough a reason to get a refund.
Either way they only hurt themselves, it's just a big waste of resources and time.
I'm not calling you anything buddy. I don't think you're a shill... I was just giving my view of the matter, I haven't ordered anything from them, apart from the 18650's I canceled and the more i read about them, the happier I am with that.
Just look above, you're one of the few that got what they ordered. On top of that, going by the pictures I saw above, the cells may very well be fakes too.
No, that would only be solution for one or few person to get money back, the other customers would still getting wrong items.
I've got PM from Summer and they will work on it. It would be good anyone is getting wrong item PM to me and I'll make list and give it to Summer. Please add order number so they could find you in their system. What do you think?
Well, they need to do both - refund or replace for those that got the wrong ones and correct their current stock for future orders. They should be able to find the orders in their system without us PM'ing you our order numbers if we open a case on their site.
I think it would be best to give them one chance to refund or replace(refund would be better, who knows what the replacement would be). But if they start with back and forth emails saying they sent the right ones, then PayPal dispute time.
Currently doing a 1A test on the unprotected cell but then it's from 4.11V only as i don't have time to wait another 1hr or so for it to slowly top off (it charges really slowly at a diminishing current as you get closer to 4.2V). But then i need to sleep now as i need to wake up at 2am for a shooting job. See when i can post the results.
I’ve had 4pcs of these before and tested, batteries themselves are good but there’s something wrong in the randomness of this deal.
i haven’t tested these yet, will test soon tonight and post specs afterwards.
As vortex said, maybe I should open PP dispute and mail to DD to get ir right… I have quite little use for these unprotected ones.
Mine, I've got in the last shippment are with hologramic letters (even the smallest letters) and the differences to my old protected ones (purchased from DD last year) are same as JAS pointed out in a post #22. So I don't think they are fake.
The randomness is obviously showing they have problem in the package department - someone or more of them can't distinct between the two. As I already said, even sticker is correct with the correct SKU number - see my picture in a post #15. So the person who put the stickers on the product failed to take the right product. It looks to me as simple as that
They are unprotected alright. But not fakes, i got 4.11V -> about 2.7V (the iMAX B6 under reads if compared to my Uni T UT-58E), 2267mAh will post photo later.
Summer just said he/she have checked with product centre and will make sure they are protected before sending out. I, like ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS, have another 3 pairs coming.
