      I hate scam artists. Some people don't have a lot of money to waste, so hopefully the video helps them make the right decisions when purchasing 18650's. Stick with the big 3 companies, which you already know because you made a really great 18650 testing video! Thanks for watching!

      Agreed. Stick with good name brands that have been tested. I personally base my choices off of Mooch's reviews because he tests every aspect of each battery to ensure his results are extremely accurate. I usually purchase LG, Sony Or Samsung batteries. It is hard to tell some of the scams though. Many manufacturers in China will make knock-off batteries that look almost identical to the name brands. That's why many manufacturers are resorting to the scratch off authentication codes on packages to verify their legitimacy. As always, great video.

      They remove the listings and relist the items to run away from the ratings.

    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!

    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

    Thank you for such a great and comprehensive video. Going to call out a product I recently tested in the amazon store and returning. Its a black and green battery boasting 9900 mAh, shows to be a registered brand for CBJJ, well if its sounds too good to be true believe me it is too good to be true Don’t waste your time or money on these batteries. At best from a 12 pack of them you will find one that will have an 1100 mAh rated battery. I found the Japanese batteries to be best. For accuracy or close to it. LG or Samsung as well as Panasonic.

    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.

    Could it be that these batteries often are sold in a pack of X, and that X * number of batteries equals 10000 mAh?

The ones I have are from LithiCore: 3500 mAh, 3.7 V, 10A continuous discharge current (whatever that means). Is this a good brand?

    Careful!
    I used an identical-looking gram scale to measure and compare some suspiciously heavy NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) game paks in my video and got accused of being a drug dealer... repeatedly. It didn't help that the cartridges did end up having contraband inside, but I had the scale for an innocent reason: measuring refilled ink cartridges with ink extracted from industrial-sized ink cartridges... which are also commonly used to smuggle things... especially in fake 3D printed ink carts... and I also had a 3D printer. *facepalm* Yeah, I just couldn't escape the associations!
    Person after person pointed to the scale as evidence that I was a drug dealer and that it was staged. People still comment today with stuff like "You just happened to have a drug dealer scale? Yeah, right." It didn't help that I discovered it on April Fool's Day a couple years ago but if they think I turned over thousands of dollars of fentanyl to the police and filed a false police report (independently obtained/confirmed by NY Post) as an April Fool's prank, well, they must be high!

    We all know, that by 18650 lithium, is impossible to create 10 000 Mah. fake advertising give max of 1200-1700 Mah. So to compare it, fake advertising 10 000 Mah. Weigh smaller in Gramm. So to Panasonic or Samsung, weigh Correct 45 Gramm for 18650 Mass weigh.
    Is fully impossible to realise more Mah with this Calliber. The 32700 LIFePo it Possible to 6600-7000 Mah.
    So with calculating 32mm diameter and 18mm Diameter, so to give half of power, it lack of 14mm diameter.
    And it should are Lithium not other metal chemistry.
    To have possibility to reach the 10 000 Mah Range. here the size should are bigger in Diameter, to permit to wrap more lithium foil on diameter surface on Full Battery!.
    Make Try with you'r two battery, the account of Mah Charging full. 4.2 Volt.
