They look well made... .... You can get (4) Panasonic Orbtronics for that, so the price is good.....

Considering there are no 3200 ma batteries on the market that is a bad deal.

Are they for resale or personal use ? For resale to sell at $3.00 to $4.00 they are ok…… For personal get good cells !

I’m sure they do. But I’m also sure they don’t perform to specification. Unless you can test runtime and get a good idea of capacity and equality between cells, it’s a bad idea to run two of them in series in a flashlight. A single 18650 flashlight will probably function just fine, but I doubt it has anywhere near the capacity they claim, so runtime will be much less - up to 3x lower runtime over a 3100 Panasonic cell. You get what you pay for…mostly.
if something looks too good to be true…
…it probably is
They’re a waste of your time and money, don’t touch.

This particular seller I’ve hear is an alias of BuyInCoins, who’s received various reviews on this site:

Pros:
Have forums, reviews (well not many)
Website seems to well designed (but see cons), has quick zoom, you can filter flashlights by various features
Cheapish WF-501B with xenon lamps may be good if you just want a host
18650 holders 8 for $4.09 (their ebay store is better if they ship to you)
Have a 10% off coupon although only valid 1 but you could probably create a new account or not even bother to create one
Have a 5% discount if you input a recommender (my …
I just got 6 of the grey protected UltraFire 18650 2400mah batteries this Sat. One of them wouldn’t even charge to 1 volt on my multimeter even though it showed green on my Xtar chargers I have which is odd in itself. But I checked it on my multimeter and only got like .840 volts. I ended up filing a claim through paypal and got all of my money back. But there is no doubt in my mind that he is selling fake batteries.
