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.


there are plenty of supplier online, try using a search engine


[Shakes head in disbelief] I've looked at many suppliers. Many suppliers sell "genuine" batteries that don't look genuine. My question is NOT where can I buy genuines, but it's "are they genuine without a badge?"
