Sony vtc4's from orbtronics...

[Rando Fawkes]

Not sure if this question has been posted before or not as there are 106 pages of topics. So I am gonna be ordering some Sony vtc4's from Orbtronics next week as an early birthday present to myself because I really want a 30amp CDR battery. My only concern is should I be worried about the authenticity of them? I have seen a lot of reviews lately about fake Sonys and am now not so sure if I should order them. I've asked on here before about the validity of orbtronics and most of y'all say they are reputable, which I don't doubt, I just wanna know if i should be worried about these ones in particular before ordering a bunch of them

Orbtronics has been a VERY Reputable source for batteries. The VTC4's are pretty consistent with being Authentic, its mainly the VTC5's that had a lot of counterfeits while they were hard to find months back. But vendors like Orbtronics tests their batteries to ensure they are authentic.
I would not worry though ordering either(Or ANY other battery) from Orbtronics.
Hope that helps!

Are also very reputable vendors.

Also, the VTC4 is not "Exactly" 30A CDR

Orbtronics has a very good reputation as a battery supplier. I would trust that their Sony batteries are authentic.

On a side note, the Orbtronics brand batteries are re-wrapped Panasonic NCR batteries, for the most part. Excellent quality batteries if you only need 10 amps continuous.
