I’m ignoring everything else in this thread for now, and everyone can rip me for this if they want, maybe deservedly so. AWT rewraps other manufacturer’s cells, and has been known to claim otherwise. They are in a glass house throwing stones. There, I said it. Flame away.
Well, other than your hostile tone, you’re not wrong. AWT does not have its own manufacturing facilities so they, just like Efest, Keeppower, and tons others are rewrappers. The difference might be the quality of cells that they rewrap. Trustfires are rewraps, and the only thing I trust is that they’ll start a fire, AWTs might be better.
The only makers of good quality cells are Sony, Samsung, Sanyo, Panasonic and LG.
But none of the manufactures of top quality cells make individual cells with protection (or even sell cells directly at all). Panasonic, Sanyo, Samsung, LG, sony will tell you all li-ions require protection so re-wrappers do serve a good purpose. Keeppower and Evva seem to be lowest cost ones that use quality seiko protection chips.
Exactly - I think all the top makers will tell you that their cells are not for sale to the individual consumer. Maybe a bit of CYA.
Grace, have you talked with Gearbest about having these removed? If not, is that something you plan to do?
+1
They claimed they weren’t rewrappers multiple times & then when HKJ tested their latest battery we all found out that they where totally lying 
I will NOT trust anything they or there representatives are saying again.
I have no problem with Efest or Keeppower that aren’t claiming they are not rewraping or any other rewrapers, it is that AWT is lying about it that i really can’t stand 
Never had any AWT batteries but why are they quick to say that someone is not an authorized dealer but do not supply us with a list of authorized dealers?
I agree with the others...Samsungs, LG's, Panasonics, Sanyos, Efest, Evva, Keeppower have always treated us well. No need to add a difficult to find name to the list unless carried by Richard (RMM) or Calvin (CalvinIS)
I did not rwlize HKJ found them to be rewrapps but the op was about Gearbest selling fraudulent batteries which were unprotected high drains and Iam waiting for Grace to respond as o did ask her about the rewraps.also Grace did say Fasttech and IMR are their auntorized dealers Iam waiting to see what she has to say before I have anymore to say but I have heard their 26650 batteries were hitting 75 amps on Burts and over 40 amps continously please read username juggles 262 responsehttps://www.fasttech.com/forums/2197901/t/1602507/-/1
Grace, elsewhere on this forum you said AWT does have a manufacturing plant:
Where is this production line located? Can you find it in Google Earth?
Workers should never be touching or breathing chemicals used to make li-ion cells.
Review here: Test/Review of AWT IMR18650 2500mAh (Yellow)
says it’s not clear who makes the cells found in the AWT wrappers.
I wouldn’t say that HKJ has found them to be rewraps, because he hasn’t said that, BUT if you compare the AWT 2600mha 40A to the Samsung 25R cyan i am sure most will draw the same conclusion as i and many with me did. That they are rewraping the 25R in the AWT 2600mha 40A & even at 0.1A they can’t do 2600mha because it isn’t a 2600mha battery. It is a Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mha cell inside.
So double lie, about that they are making the cells themselves & are NOT rewrapping + they are straight up lying about the capacity, No one will get 2600mha out of the AWT 2600 cell………
I will look forward to see HKJ’s AWT 26650 75A pulse 40A continuous, review also.
Tom E. may have explained what’s going on, in the review thread. I asked for clarification and quoted his description of buying the Samsung “core” and putting it in the metal shell, if I understand him correctly — that’s more than just adding the shrinkwrap.
It might also explain how workers can have their “hands become black as soon as they touch the battery” — if the cores are bought unsealed or the contents is leaky?
@hank, “Poor Chinese AWT workers in produce line……. Their hands become black as they touch the battery….” yeah i was also taken aback by that statement, it sounded just horrible, so i was relieved to realize that they probably are just rewrapers, and i really hope that is just some strange boast & a bad joke & not an indication on how horrible they are treating the factory workers
Yeah that could be it, but i am not convinced yet, and by there own description it sound hazardous, and for what? They don’t get more performance than the other rewrapper………
if gearbest continuously sells bad/fake products why are they allowed to sell here?
you are right about everything you said ,either way I was originally posting to show that Gearbest is knowingly and intentionally misleading consumers and I am only trying to help people be aware I would appreciate if some one would tell me before I bought clones of clones,again let’s wait and see grace’s rebutted at least give her a chance before pronouncing her guilty
> Nagod ... why are they allowed
They aren't selling "here" -- they're selling on the Internet.
Conversations here help everyone identify what's real, and what's good.
Of course they sell here, and this is also part of the internet.
Wallbuys does not sell here.
Now I’m sure I’ve seen that photo elsewhere.
Yeah, Image Search finds it: http://mtnsh.com/31205
I don’t recognize the script — but I’m sure it’s not Chinese.
Let me guess: You just threw it in, you don’t have any reason to believe it’s related to the company we’re talking about.
Right?
And in that spirit, I ask you the famous rhetorical question: “Have you quit beating your wife?”
The chinese owners/managers are plenty smart.
When a system rewards “A” people will act to maximize “A”
The govt/business culture is very (take it when you can) orented aka (opportunism/corruption) is a major issue.
What ever the business owners/managers are doing is very deliberate, I just dont see a laissez faire style of managment as being broadly used or adopted.
Draw your own conclutions.
