Hi, I have been following your channel irregularly for about 6 months or so. I recently purchased four 18650 li-ion cells. The order shows 4 ea GTL 12000 mah batteries @$7.50 each. What I received were 4 ea Samsung INR18650-30Q batteries with no mah capacity listed the only other markings were SDI 136. From watching your video, I have deduced that I was totally misled about the capacity of any cells I bought, but it appears that I received a fair product for the price I paid. I also bought a BMAX 4 slot universal Smart Charger for $9.15 (there was no shipping charged for any of these items. This is my first venture into the world of 18650. Thank you for the videos which would have been very informative if I had seen them first

This is an excellent video and sooo educational. I'm a bicyclist and I've switched from the cased lights with the battery and the light as a single unit, to one where you can remove the batteries. I wasn't as familiar with the types and got a 2600 mah by luck. I also bought one that was 9900 mah and didn't really know that that was a joke. The 9900 didn't last for a year and there was a big difference in the weight. I'm now using 3600 mah and the difference in those and the 2600 mah are night and day. I can see a huge difference in the length of power time with the full bright on. I WISH that I'd seen this video before. None the less thanks for the upload!

Awesome demonstration of how we're getting ripped off! Was just researching THISS cells from my Porter Cable packs that I picked up on Amazon and came across this. Thank you! Now I know what to buy to rebuild my stuff. Luckily for me, mine lasted a few years before they crapped out so I got what I paid for lol.

Simply outstanding!💥👏👏You Sir just saved me a lot of anguish!💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I thought there would be a smaller battery inside the GTL battery.

👍 Great video for those who are not familiar with lithium ion batteries, saves them from getting low quality batteries.

I find it funny how the Chinese often demonstrate naivety, particularly when they believe that simply labeling a product as "10000 mAh" or "20 terabyte flash drive" will guarantee its sales. However, the truth is that most consumers aren't easily deceived. Employing a more accurate labeling strategy or even a slight embellishment could result in significantly higher profits.

GTL, Ultrafire. Are rated at 9900mah when tested is 1000 mah. Light as a feather when compared to a Samsung 18650.

[eebaker]

Another great enlightening video. I like the way you make comparisons of items under test. I'll be staying way from those cheaper batteries. 😁

[markanthonystringfellow]

Thanks for the Info! Exellent Work and Format as Always :-))

[Javiermn]

good to know they cant really go above 3600 with current tech. Thanks!

[issadad]

Superb. I trust you. I need 18650's @ about 3500 mAh for my vaping mods (Vaporesso and Geek Vape Aegis) which I never run above about 15 watts. Both take two rechargeable 18650 batteries. The ones I have are from LithiCore: 3500 mAh, 3.7 V, 10A continuous discharge current (whatever that means). Is this a good brand? Do you have a video where you just tell us which 18650's are best, most reliable, longest lasting, etc? That would be most helpful. Thanks again.

[pericbowen]

Fabulous work! Keep up the good work! 😊👍👍

[seemovielove]

Hi, can you tell me where to buy good 18650 battery 2000mA or more? Thanks

[ismaelR_C]

I have a flashlight that can also carry these types of batteries and I bought 2 for my light. It's brand is *UltraFire*
BRC 18650 4000mAh
3.7V Li-ion
Is it a good one? Any answers are fine I just want to know if they are good batteries haven't used them yet

[captainmidnite]

As Robert Murray-Smith said: there's 3 kinds of people in the world, good people, bad people, and battery people.

[bonniej]

Could you Put A Cost Comparison up there? If I can get 5 of the GTL for the Cost of the Samsung/panasonic - Id be better off with the Lying GTL wouldn't I?

[nefariumxxx]

I bought a charger which measures *true* capacity on the discharge cycle. Good stuff.

[MiguelLopez-hhlf]

I'm guessing for testing the mAh rating you used that electronic load tester? ET5420

[Torsan]

Could it be that these batteries often are sold in a pack of X, and that X * number of batteries equals 10000 mAh? I have a similar pack of 4 batteries that are labelled 9600 mAh, so I just assumed they just put the same label on each battery as on the "product" which was a pack of 4. Just a thought...
