eBay: Do you think these will be cheap rubbish?

Do you think these will be the cheap rubbish you get from China?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-x-18650-2400mAh-Li-ion-Battery-UltraFire-Charger_W0QQitemZ310091654183QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310091654183&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

If you don't think they are decent, could you suggest an alternative?

Thanks!

if you want good liion cells, go for the brand AW at 4 sevens

The charger is the same one AW sells. The old version overcharged cells, the new version fixed that problem. I have had 5 of that brand of Li-ion cell .... two of them are dead after two cycles. At the end of the day, what you pay for is what you get :D

I hear the DX6105 charger is better.

I have had exactly these batteries and charger for quite some time now, and they perform very well. No trouble and good capacity. I have also bought some protected Ultrafire cells (gray), and some of them have failed and some of them work, so they are more questionable. But, if you want unprotected cells, I recommend the ones you point to.

I also have several of these batteries and chargers, and never had any problems running them in any of my flashlights. I use these in both LED and incandescent flashlights.

When starting a thread, it is not sufficient just to give a link and ask people's opinions. You should give the name of the item and some details about it, rather than leave other people to do this work for you.

You should also take care to post it in the correct forum. I'll move it to the Batteries section now, where it belongs, but I rather doubt that this charger, or the cells, or the eBay source, will meet with a very enthusiastic reception there.
