"Genuine" lithium ion batteries?
I'm finding it rather difficult to buy real Lithium Ion batteries (like 18650s) online. By real I mean something like Panasonic etc. I've had Chinese unbadged ones before and they've held 1Ah instead of the rated 2.6Ah. The "Genuine" ones don't seem to look like they used to, no makers badge and fancy colours, just a plain green shell with some black writing. Are these real?

If you buy from a "genuine" dealer then you can get branded items instead of unbadged. |

I keep asking myself: are YOU for real, Dumb Guy? LOL http://www.battery-force.co.uk/categ...Batteries.html -- If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

If you buy from a "genuine" dealer then you can get branded items instead of unbadged. Errrr, that's what I'm looking for. My question, again, is simply "Are batteries without a Panasonic logo actually Panasonic?" There are many dealers selling "Genuine Panasonic" batteries but there are no badges on them. Are Li-Ions classed like the type you'd buy to fit into a drill battery - i.e. non-consumer so no logo? -- Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking, and one blonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away... Florida or the moon?" The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida ?????" |

Many suppliers sell "genuine" batteries that don't look genuine.

IME it's a waste of time buying batteries online. There are so many forgeries out there and they look *so* convincing these days it would take an expert to tell them from the real thing. Swallow the extra expense and buy your batteries from a well established high st. retailer would be my advice. |

Not for high capacity Li-Ions, shops just don't do those. Anyway, shopping on a high street is impossible, have you not noticed they don't let you take cars on the high street anymore? High street shops have been killed off. If it's not in a supermarket, I buy it online. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't. |

Well I bought some genuine Panasonic online that don't say Panasonic on them, and tested them. They do actually hold 3.1Ah like they say. If they hadn't, I'd simply ask for my money back and/or report them to Panasonic. They hate people forging their stuff. -- NEWSFLASH!!! Bouncing elephantiasis woman destroys central Portsmouth |
