Well I've ordered some, but will be extra careful with them, any doubt and they'll be getting them back

for what its worth i would def not get them at that price ..way to cheap i sent the other 2 i had off to jim (torchyboy) for testing and yep def fakes....even though where i bought from said all the right things ie last of the 2014 dec stock ...which is a correct statement that's when they stopped making them....keep to the dearer more respected suppliers ...ive just switched to the new samsung 30q's from torchyboy ......playing safe now They're not really cheap, £18 for 2 just cheaper for another hour with vendors day code ahh thought you said they were 7.60 @......didn't realise they were on special at £18 thats close to what they should be ive bought genuine from 19-23 for a pair ....

Geez the batteries around here seem a bit pricey! I'd recommend the samsung 25R's and for a good price eu.nkon.nl/samsung-18650-inr18650-25r.htmlThese are trusted and used by myself and plenty of other cloud chasers running anything from 0.06 and up on mech mods. My last order was for 10 which came in at less than £40 all in. Enjoy

Surely I could test the amps using a multimeter suitable for say 40amps? And four 50w 0.5 ohm resistors?

Norb from ecolux confirmed to me in a Facebook message last night that he tested a sample for them and the regular price is right for vtc5's so all looks positive

No, they are not accurate enough to read low IR, the tester I linked to uses a 4 wire (1 pair for current and the other for voltage) and pulsed DC measurement, straight 2 wire DC or AC measurement is not good enough. The tester I linked to does capacity and you can choose up to 2 V plus the cut off voltage.

I'm with you on this one mate I was planning on getting resistors at some point for the battery analyser on escribe but I'm not sure if I connected it up too a vtc5 if it would try taking too many amps and use too much power for a vtc5. I'm just trying too work it out..

I'm just trying too work it out.. That would work for high load (133 W for 2 or 200 W for 3 batteries), but what if they are rubbish fakes that vent on you? ETA not much for my 9,000th post
