So I’m probably real slow on the trigger with this. It was apparently done Jan 20th. It’s an Adam Savage tested that shows exactly why bad batteries are bad. I kinda want one of these devices. They probably cost thousands and in 10 years your phone will do it. Fascinating though.

The above video refers to Lumafield's "Battery Quality Report".

Direct link to the Lumafield forty page "Battery Quality Report" can be found HERE.

FWIW, the report was initially published on 2025-09-23.

Bottom line......

Purchase batteries from reputable suppliers (see Mooch's blog for links).

Avoid purchasing batteries from the likes of Amazon, Temu, etc. - both have 3rd parties selling counterfeit batteries.


ETA: Temu? The Chinese online retailer are very well known, throughout the world, for selling fake, counterfeit, and knockoff products of all kinds. Their parent company, Whaleco, Inc., does next to nothing to protect consumers.
