Test / review: TrustFire TF18650 3000mAh (Flame)

This is how bad it has become. 1000 sold. Their fake 9800mah wrapper isn’t even 6 months old. I feel bad for the people that have these charging in their house or running in a double stack flashlight. Eventually ebay will be sued for allowing this. We all know that 3400-3500 is the highest capacity out of japan.

Basically $7 plus $7 shipping for 4 batteries that as I have on good authority cost about $0.25 to sellers. So $14 for $1 cost, they will keep selling these for 1400% of cost even if half return them, and of course they ask you to promise to give a good review for the refund, they will keep a great seller rating. This is how Ebay “works”.

Here is what I got from yallstore. Notice the you cannot really see the yellow lightening on the wrap. The negative is silver colored with some grids.


Can you remove the wrapper and show us what’s underneath? Fake PCB maybe.
