The $9.96 claims authentic in the questions section, the $14.18 does not have a question asked on that www.gearbest.com/nitecore-_gear/ however all the pics and blurb would lead you to believe it was genuine.

Ok, the plot thickens with regards to the fake charger. In a statement from nitecore (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=574359929398014&id=530034443830563)
Turns out this is the exact code on my box. How's about a refund on the charger GearBest?

I'd start a thread on the China Shopping Board faren . . . . just to be fair to Gearbest, they themselves might not be aware these aren't genuine chargers and once the issue is known to them - then it's to be hoped they will take the necessary steps. We have had similar happen to quite reputable UK sellers in the past concerning AW batteries for example.

I agree that there's a reasonable chance GB aren't even aware of the issue.

Just a quick heads up folks ordered a nitecore I2 from gearbest, arrived today but does not validate as authentic on the nitecore website. Therefore I can only assume it's a fake. Everything else in the order including the shipping time were spot on. Did it say it was authentic on their site? Hello Jason, I just asked our research depart to make a confirm with supplier They made sure its authentic item While it has been a long time in warehouse, so maybe damp Could you please open a ticket and send me the tk number I will ask service center to deal with your issues priority Resend a new one to you Best regards Isabel
