What the hell, I ordered one. If I feel the need to give away a cell to someone I don't like, this will be it.
I actually tried to order 100. I'm an evil person. The coupon code only works for one cell....but wait, let me try a second order... Nope, only 1 per customer.
There is a sort of myth on the forums (I think it is a myth) that the only ok chinese battery is the Trustfire flame. My personal guess is that all those ****fire batteries are of comparable quality (not great, just ok) but that the market is polluted with rewrapped (often 'Ultrafire') disposed batteries from old electrical equipment. If you avoid ebay you're probably ok in most cases.
Thanks for the heads up on this deal.
I just ordered one and if it were not for the directions about going through paypal first I may have given up in trying to apply the coupon code. Now it’s just a waiting process. It shouldn’t take very long if they ship from the USA.
I will admit that I previously ordered tons of crappy fire brands(ultrafire, spiderfire, uniquefire, fandyfire, thrustfire, GTL, etc.). I had all possible issues( low mah, unable to charge fully, overcharged, some smoked while charging) but they did never exploded.
Now I would not want them even if someone gives me 1000 pcs for free.
They could actually work good in 1A lights if they are good ones.
HKJ tested Ultrafire batteries that came directly from Ultrafire plus two vendors. They all had the inconsistent results we expect from Ultrafire. I've only seen one okay Ultrafire result, and that was for the 26650 that had a label very similar to the Trustfire flames 26650.
