Yeah, I know they have stuff for cheap but I was trying to stay towards the eBay, Amazon, Digikey and only a few items from them. This is because my parents don't really trust it, so I'm only buying batteries from it.check aliexpress, it is reliable ,has international shipping and is usually cheap . example
Oh no don't buy cells from Aliexpress. Nonononononononononononono get them from a reputable Ebay or Amazon seller. If you order cells from Aliexpress you'll just get flour containers.Yeah, I know they have stuff for cheap but I was trying to stay towards the eBay, Amazon, Digikey and only a few items from them.

I understand your concern, but unless this seller has several fake "endorsers" around the world then these batteries: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40003...ME2AlGvktTC1Vn3aQFXBiAO0i8lQqiThoCO7EQAvD_BwE should be good because many people have tested them and found the capacity relatively true. However, if these "fake" batteries are known have a shorter overall life please let me know.Oh no don't buy cells from Aliexpress.

Official BB recommendation is to not buy cells from Aliexpress. You can roll the dice if you want, but we don't support it.I understand your concern, but unless this seller has several fake "endorsers" around the world then these batteries: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40003...ME2AlGvktTC1Vn3aQFXBiAO0i8lQqiThoCO7EQAvD_BwE should be good because many people have tested them and found the capacity relatively true.

Generally speaking the real ones are the cells with consistent appearance. Fakes tend to all look slightly different, visibly cheaper materials, slightly off colouring, misaligned text printing, different font, and have a notably lower cost than other stores. Regular online stores with local stock tend to have legit Panasonic cells, and on Ebay you can just have a scroll through a vendor's feedback history and see if there are any reports of fakes or duds. Some local stores may also carry "brand" cells with the same capacity as Panasonics that are actually just reskinned. I bought some 3400mAh from a local shop in Australia and opened them to find they were just re-wrapped Panasonic cells.I can totally see that. I'm willing to pay the extra money. Also, alot of them are bogus out there, so I would really appreciate a link or some tips to spot the real ones. Thank you so much for your help!
