Re: Possibly Fake Ultrafire?
they run lights as bright and as long as eagtac 18650 and charge fine and hold a charge
I would never, ever order an ultrafire myself, I just happen to have a bunch from that mistake shipment
a friend got and ended up with 50 new ultrafires. immediately charged and tested them for charge
holding and they are fine. and guess what ? the labels on them are different than any ultrafire pictured here in this thread.
so who knows which is the real slim shady ultrafire 18650 ? maybe mine are counterfeit ? they were packed nicely in sealed mylar
anyway, they work great. would I buy them ? hell no !
ditto...I will carefully use what I have now and again, but they are going to be backups
What qualifies as "decent" then in your estimation? Does a cell merely have to charge to what appears to be a "full" voltage? Run a light for a while?
Or have you taken a bunch of Ultrafire cells and put them on various loads with a logging voltmeter or battery workstation of some sort to see how they stand up to the sort of use you'll put them too?
I consider Ultrafire cells an unnecessary risk and potentially dangerous, as well as being poor value for money. Cheaply made, often fraudulently advertised, is no bargain.
