Xtar Authenticity code?

[Matt Sullivan]

so i just got an xtar from EdisonBright, and the authenticity code is 18 digits, but its broke up into 3 sets of 5 not 4 like the site. i tried entering it and it said "does not exist" but it came in a pretty legit looking box, inside the box was a grey xtar drawstring, inside that was the device, a phamplet, and a warranty card with a sticker with a 12 digit S/N on it... is there any other way to tell real v fake? it seems to work fine, i put a battery charged in a Nitecore on it and it charged it for a couple minutes, then said blinked "full" at me... btw its a VC2.... anyone know whats up with this?

Are you sure its not 3x6?
3 sets of 5 is 15
The site says you need 18

When I entered mine (3x6) I just typed the number and let the website deal with the spacing itself even though the last box was not filled all the way it still told me it was legit

yeah i tried it again on a computer from xtarusa site not just xtar and on a computer not a phone and it worked strangely it was 3x6 i just typo'd.

yeah i actually had a fresh battery charged on a Nitecore either i4 or D4 and put it on, it wasnt charged to 4.2, now it is though glad i didnt have to go through the same return and claim process i did with fleabay. future reference, Amazon seller EdisonBright IS legit, authorized nitecore dealer and the Xtars are legitimate too
