Very hard to find anything that isn't fake on those sites these days, and then I don't mean just batteries.

Everything with a brandname, but which is more than 10% cheaper than from the manufacturer, will 100% be a fake.

Reading reviews doesn't help, because when you return a product for a refund on Lazada and Shopee, you are not allowed to write a review.

 

Batteries from Smarttech Shop are 100% real (so far).

 

I test batteries extensively before I use them.

Found that shop on Lazada but can't see them selling 18650. Can you post a link please?

Maybe try to read my comments once again, and then answer the question.

Are they brandname batteries and more than 10% cheaper than buying from the manufaturer?

I use the app, so I can't post a link.

 

Just search Lazada for 18650 and choose batteries from Smarttech Shop.

I don't know the manufacturer prices.

 

However, I test batteries extensively and those from Smarttech Shop are real.

You must be lucky then, because these reviews, and many more 1 and 2 star, tell me another story. And at 30% less than other sellers of the same product it is all too obvious.

Since I have to replace the cells in a couple of our deco lights I need to order a few 18650s. 

 

Which of the plethora of cells in their shop would you recommend as known good??

 

I can confirm the Liitokala NCR18650B from Lazada Smarttech store do meet the Panasonic data sheet capacity and weight spec. The BIL has repaired several power tool batteries using these cells.

 

Note, these cells are available with or without protection circuit depending on application.

There were some bad reviews for products sold by Smarttech 3 years ago. Since then, all good.

The market is a nightmare because some of the fakes actually have decent quality cells under the label.

Same for me. I order at most from Smarttechshop on Lazada. Never had a problem.
I look also at buyers reviews with photos of full charged battery capacity.
