Is that the same Ring as automotive accessories? Those seem to
get
poor
press on Amazon.

Yup. All made in China. Warehouse near Leeds.

But most electrical equipment is made in China, is it not? My new
mobile is made in China. I expect if I bought an iPhone it would
be
made in China too. Much as I would like to support UK
manufacturing,
I think the days of saying goods made in China are of poor quality
are
long gone.

Try buying the cheap Chinese stuff on Ebay. I've got rechargeable
batteries here which have 20% of their rated capacity. The chargers
work though.

I'm not saying there is no tat made in China; I'm saying not all that
is made in China is tat.

Every single Chinese Li-Ion battery is tat.

Not the ones that Apple uses.

Aren't the good ones made in Japan?

The originals certainly arent.

And have you tested the actual capacity of an Apple battery?

Not possible no capacity is listed on the originals.


You bought something without any specs?!


The battery came with the device.


It should have a capacity on it. If it doesn't, Apple are scum.

"How fast does this car go that you're selling me?"
"Er.... quite fast sir"
"I'll take it. I'm an apple user, I have no brain."

As below, I've found only Panasonic to tell the truth. Everyone else is
a
scam artist.

Not with the original Apple batteries.


You said they have no specs,


Didn't say that.


You said no capacity listed. That's a missing spec.
