"batteries" now in Gearbest UK

[charon]

well it seems that GB have listened to requests for batteries to be available in UK depot. Sadly they don't seem to be aware of our aversion to anything with the word "fire" in the brand name.

I have never had a problem with "fire" ... I used Fasttech ultrafire 18650s for over 18 months in svd, evic and nemesis mods without a problem and I still use a 4 cell ultrafire charger to this day which charges to 4.17 volts every time without fail.
I am not recommending any of this but simply stating my personal experiences. Far too often people are inclined to jump on the bandwagon and condem things that they have not used themselves ... Just saying.

Its an interesting choice for the first battery to arrive, it seems to have some good reviews on the comments underneath but not heard of this one before, I think the problem is the original ultrafire brand is copied everywhere and all kinds of batts get put instead including some really fake ones that are a tiny battery surrounded by sand that some people received on ebay!!

The iPV4s has also arrived at the EU warehouse too btw for $60.99

All we need now are some Samsungs, Sonys and LG's

@yinyang To be fair, I have no problems with the chargers, mine has been good and strong. However the cells I got went belly up after only 3 weeks, it just wasn't worth the hassle trying to get them sorted with seller (now also gone belly up)

Have to agree with kreed, bring on the Samsungs and LG

As vapee has said charon the original ultrafire batteries, like most of the good makes, have been faked over time and I can only assume that the ones that failed on you after 3 weeks were fakes in ultrafire clothing. 
In my experience, Fasttech only sell genuine batteries including their current 25r's.

I'm happy using 3 sizes of Trust Fire, latest high discharge IMR from FT. Torchy sells their previous version so they can't be all bad.
