Hi there Pablo,

Wow, that's amazing. They put the same name and everything
right on the batteries and package. That takes real
nastyness! Lucky they didnt make the batteries themselves
perfectly identical looking so there's plenty of ways of
telling the real from the fake apart.
It would be interesting to find out what company(s) made
these fake batteries.

Take care,
Al

Hello Pablo,

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif Maybe a BatMax sticker would improve their performance... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif

yeah MrAl, this time they made it very similar, next time Im sure it will be more difficult...

Conterfeiting is a big problem, not only in Argentina but in all South America... batteries is new, but clothes for example I saw counterfeits as long I have memory...

Tom, yeah /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif how is the testing going?

Hello Pablo,

Testing is moving along...

I can report that I am still not bothered by vampires. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Other than that, the results are similar to what we have observed from previous tests.
