I can get an authentic 25R for $4-5 from IMR or Illum. Why would I spend ~$9.80 (from what's posted on their website) on a "50A" defying the laws of physics rated battery?

I don't think I'd want a battery that defied the laws of physics, either. I mean, I can barely keep up with the laws of physics as it is....
Seriously, with a bit of patience, it's just best (and SO easy) to purchase legit batteries from reputable vendors. For how long they last, (with the correct treatment) it's just a no-brainer. I was hating on the vape shops for using rewraps, now the darn manufacturers of mod equipment are doing it, and now we have odd new vendors making strange claims for their batteries. It's not good. Nope, not even a little bit.
I suppose you can USE those batteries, if you so desire, but I would keep a close eye on them and make sure that yes, they aren't getting warm or overstressed, especially if chain-vaping since you have NO idea what they actually are, only that they are NOT as advertised....
Also, notice that they are NOT recommended for vaping, correct, so if anything happens, you won't have any sort of recourse. To be fair, many *reputable* battery vendors are also using that warning, now. That's a sign to me that battery incidents are frequent enough that nobody wants to get sued. That should tell you something about battery safety-- if even REPUTABLE vendors are covering their butts, legally, that's kind of a sign that battery safety matters. Please do not use rewraps, there's no reason they cannot be returned, is there? Please do buy some safe batteries, that would be fantastic, and it's well worth the $20 to get a couple married pairs, it truly is.
