Minding Your mAhs Ep027 – How to detect fake Sony/Murata VTC 18650 batteries
The popular VTC series of batteries, originally made by Sony and now made by Murata, are often counterfeited. These fakes are often low quality, low current rated cells that not only perform badly but are a safety issue too. In this video I describe some ways you can detect these fakes.
I want to do this full time! If you feel what I do is worth a couple dollars a month and you would like early access to battery availability, battery and charger testing and news, and a say in what I test, then please consider becoming a Patreon patron and supporting my testing efforts: Patreon: batterymooch.
If you would like to support my testing efforts with a single donation: https://www.paypal.me/batterymooch

Disclaimer:
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of personal injury or property damage. They are not meant to be used outside of a protected battery pack. Never exceed the battery’s continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.
Where known, the ratings set by Samsung, Sony, LG, or Panasonic/Sanyo will be used.
Any battery from Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can be a lower grade battery or a fake. Only buy from a known, trusted source of genuine batteries. Even then, there are no guarantees.
Carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never, ever, be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.
These tests I do only note the estimated ratings for the batteries at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, or Sanyo can change at any time This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” batteries or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
