Used 18650's sold as new.

This explains how.

Cheap batteries are fakes.

As everything, a too good of a deal is a dud.
You’re new, but stick with the better known brands as Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo. Notice a trend in these names? All are Japanese or Koreans. There are some better Chinese makes, but more often are counterfeited.
Pirates will pirate one another.
And, China is a pirate’s lair.

That Feng Xing Hu Wai brand is not even a battery maker:

Tell me about it… I just had that for lunch today!

…and for dinner again tonight, buddy.

Edit: I just noticed, “used, sold as new”? :confounded:

Anybody missing a cat, I know where it went if they are. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m the OP and I didn’t mention that I fly RC stuff and have experience with the li-po’s that we use, but new to these in the cans. But I do have some Bosch and other power tools that perform very well and for several years now. Not sure if our pouch-type RC batteries can be made to seem new. Our’s usually have bad endings anyway :frowning:

You jest. In our California SF valley neighborhood we had some alarming numbers of pet cats go missing. We began to pay attention to people stopping on the street to pet cats and pick them up. We identified 3 ppl in our neighborhood and turned them in. Culture does not ameliorate the pain felt by the owners.

Yeah, them pouches just inflate like balloons when they go bad.

These start fizzing and turn into smoke-grenades if you’re lucky, fragmentation grenades if you’re not.

If one were my cat, nothing would be able to ameliorate the pain felt by the abductors once I’d get through with ’em.

Well, considering what’s in that smoke, fragmentation grenades might make for a more merciful end! :confounded:

Cats are more prolific breeders than rabbits. Why don’t they just keep a few mommas and poppas and make as many as they need? I’m not a cat person, but nobody should be stealing another person’s pet!

Yeah, them pouches just inflate like balloons when they go bad.

GRASSFIRE-roll the eqpt!!
