Green Machine said:Has anyone bought and actually tested and cut apart those cells?
They seem too cheap...i dont know how someone can sale that cheap as a viable business model given what I think those cells cost. But i might be getting ripped off and someone is out there wholesaling samsung 25r for ridiculous cheap. A quick look on ebay and i cant find them for under $6 in any quantity.
When i see a battery priced too cheap i immediately think phony.
The other thing that makes me skeptical is why are they that green color? i have never seen samsung 25rs that color but maybe its an older model? What makes me weary is they are the same green color as the fony sonys.
Why did samsung choose the same color as sony to color their battery anyway? I am new the to the 18650 business so pardon my ignorance. I have always known samsung 25r batteries to be sweet baby blue.
I can confirm NKON has always sold authentic cells to me. The price is very good. Maybe it is because they are on the main container sea port in Europe, cell shipping through sea are the cheapest shipping nowadays, so they must have the lowest prices. Then the transport is all by terrain in EU, so we just pay 8$ ANY quantity
