Massive fraud on 18650s in the Littokala Aliexpress stores!

wstrachan, I’m pretty sure the batteries are safe to use and of decent quality. They come from inland known (chinese or whatever) cell OEMs, I believe. Like Shenzen Yongdeli (Yodeli) and Chang Jiang FST (can someone find CJ FST’s official website? Thanks). Look at some Chang Jiang FST cells (penta lobe tops found!):

Seen some 3350mAh specced cells from them, too.

Of course pretty sure cells from these OEMs are a lot cheaper. This doesn’t gives them the right to pass them as what they’re not.

Cheers

Chang Jiang FST website appears to be this one:

(note: the site is in Chinese though)
