3000mAh Claim

[old4570]

Well , Ultrafire was the first to put 3000mAh on a label and call it cheese !!!
Here is Fireworm now
Link1
Link2

Two flavors to chose from , just wondering if anyone has taken a dip ?

I don't trust the brand when the number was reasonable, no reason to trust unreasonably numbers.

I feel sorry for people that buy these thinking its an upgrade cell to put in there laptop batt packs, when the ones in there would outperform these by a mile....but then again you never know right unless the person tries it out.

"Fireworm"? I mean.. really?

 

[malow]

i always worried about batteries that "end with Fire". now they "start with fire..."

 

[old4570]

And end in Worm !

I had a look at more FW batts and they make some outrageous claims , not buying these .

I tested some Ultrafire 3000mA and some Soshine 2800mA at one time.
At 0,25A They are @2500mA and not much more than 100mA more than the "true" claims on the other 2500mA cells. What stuck out was their ability to still deliver 2500mA and hold a higher voltage at 3,0A discharge, than the "true" 2500mA cells.

Maybe they have a special test where the cell is paralleled with a solar cell and thus can deliver 3000mA at a discharge of no more than 100mA around midday:shrug:

Then again some will buy an autobooster that claims 1200W peak power and weighs no more than 2lbs for under $100.
A fool and his money shall soon be parted, or in other words: "Theres one born every minute"

Its not so much " If there bad " but more like , how bad are they ! That is the question I ponder .

Test them and then ***** about them. Bitching about something you never even saw is lame. :)

You buy them i'll test them. If the capacity is as claimed then i buy them from you. Since you have so much confidence in that product, this should be a no brainer :knight:
