Fake 18650 batteries?

duckman!!

hi guys,

Just got 4 new LG HG2 batteries delivered today from ezsmoke.ie
and i put them beside my older LG HG2 batteries i got from greyhaze.co.uk awhile ago and the text on the wrappers is quite a bit different.

Top battery in the picture is the new one.


Maybe they just changed the writing since i bought my last batch, but with all the fakes of this
battery going around should i worry about it?
What do you think?

Is there any other difference other than the text?

Seems like a small difference. They make them by the millions so I wouldn't worry about it.

Other then that....no not really,
I just wanted to be sure because a fake could be dangerous!

The text could vary across different batches.

But considering the HG2s were heavily faked in the last year you should maybe do a bit more research.

Battery mooch released an image comparing fake to real so might be worth googling that

I posted this link in a similar thread on here about 6 months ago:-

It should be of some help.
