9800mAh cells are these for real

[A Monell]

I did a few searches here and found nothing on these GTF brand, 8pcs 18650 3.7V 9800mAh Yellow Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Cell for Torch $8.88
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111915924766
Sorry if this has been discussed, but these look to high capacity to be truthfull. As "LED" batteries they are most likely low C rating but even if 1c and just over a dollar a cell?
is there any info?

I am not a 18650 expert but I'm calling bs.
All EV builders would be up upon this mf already if this was anywhere near a realistic figure.

I'd guess that all 8 cells *in parallel* might, if you're lucky, give you that kind of capacity (assuming they don't just explode the first time you try to charge them). :lol:

dito. normally those chinese crap cells go directly to the waste dump.
i can't understand why these sellers are allowed to claim bull shit and still have 99% positive rating.

I think Ebay should not allow them to sell those cells.

I think Ebay should not allow them to sell those cells.

And they even got someone to post a positive "review", confirming capacity.

Double Down
We bought a set of these with a little reluctance. How are they getting all of that capacity in the same size container as the 4000 - 5000mAh batteries. We wanted to find out. We ran a side by side comparison with these batteries against brand new, fully charged 5000mAh batteries and discovered that they do have the additional capacity adding almost double the run time on out test devices. It is too early to see how many recharges they will stand up to at this time. For the results we have so far, these are impressive.

Mind you, there are other reviews there suggesting they are crap.
