The answer is because your "known vendor in the USA" is no more likely to send you a genuine battery. Send your unused panasonics to me, I'll take em off your hands since they are worthless to you.

Authorized and approved vendors are generally more likely to be sending you real products.

It was kinda confirmed by the very same testing and math you yourself were suggesting would demonstrate fake batteries in this same thread?

Now you're just clutching at straws.

lol I like how you are forced to admit I was right all along and still insist I'm wrong somehow.

FWIW - IMR, the term that we use for lithium manganese battery chemistry is really LMR -lithium manganese rechargeable. The lower case L looks like an I and took off as the magic letter terminology for an improved chemistry battery. AW is the initials of a guy on a flashlight forum who started looking for a safe battery for high tech flashlights. He began to buy batteries in lots and test them individually for conformation to specifications. The ones that passed got the AW sticker. The rest were wholesaled back out to other vendors. A highly respected battery company arose from his efforts.

AW CandlePowerForum marketplace sales thread. Apparently his name is AW Wan and the email address for direct orders is in the thread.

We can thank Candlepower Forums for their diligence in demanding better and safer battery technology through the years.

And now everyone knows why it's always been silly to be so critical of one Chinese supplier in favor of AW resellers ... AW's a Chinese supplier too, and there is no such thing as an authorized AW dealer because he sells to anyone who wants to buy. Like most Chinese suppliers. In the end the final diligence always comes on our side of the pond.

This is the ECF equivalent forum for high end blowtorch flashlights and other devices that need super high quality batteries with a high degree of safety. These guys eat and sleep high drain batteries like we do with ecigs and mods. There's lots of info available for just about any battery or charger that's worth having. They have access to graph printing test equipment that shows the curves during charge and discharge and efficiency of charging devices, complete with graphs that track voltage during the charging process. Dig a little and learn a lot!
