ANY WAYS TO KNOW IF AN ULTRAFIRE IS FAKE BY EXAMINING IT?
You'll know it's not fake if you don't buy it.ANY WAYS TO KNOW IF AN ULTRAFIRE IS FAKE BY EXAMINING IT?
THX FOR INFO.....I HAVE A FEW THAT CAME WITH A LIGHT I SWAPPED FOR AND WILL USE THEM IN CHEAPER LIGHTS. ONE HAS A GOLD END AND ONE A SILVER END?.....I HAVE A REASON TO GET AN "AW" NOW.
Didn't visit CPF in a long while but these days I got myself some hilarious Ultrafire..ish cells too.
Yes, especially considering your TK35 runs them in series.I bought these for my Fenix TK35 in Bangkok. After a closer inspection i see that they are not alike. The one to the left is shorter, has an indentation around the top and use a different font for "BRC". I'm a noob, but I should stop using them, right?

Get something proper (if you want to save money, you can get pair of Xtar 2600mAh's or Solarforce 2600mAh's for $15) instead.
Thanks!
Now i have scrapped them and ordered a pair of XTAR 3100mAh and an XTAR SP2 charger. Hope that will be safer!
so who is the real manufacturer and how to identify between a genuine and fake uf "? any urls to UF ?

It does not really matter, the real UltraFire is just as bad as the fake UltraFire.
not really, it depends. ultrafire is actually decent
but ultrafires do have counterfeits all over the market
I threw them away but i did peel them down to the bare metal first. The battery to the right, without the crimping was wrapped in layers of yellow plastic and white paper to make it fatter.http://i.imgur.com/aPGyA.jpg
This were purchased in Shenzhen, from the link I posted a few posts up. I'd be curious to see what the cell in your picture, the one without the crimp around the positive end, looks like inside. Same with yo6ial, is that silver cylinder metal, or just metal-looking?
