MNKE 18650 Batteries Question

[BaoDown]

Hi, for those that has had MNKE 18650 batteries for a while now, did the orange on your batteries fade? I'm about to buy a few batteries but noticed that the color of these aren't as glossy so I'm worried they might be fake. The seller says that it was because it has been sitting around for some time now.

Any help please.

Mine never faded, even after sitting for 6 months.

Mine still look good I have 4

Mine have not sounds like fake to me...

Mine never faded, and what's more . . . lithium batteries don't shelf-sit well. I read they age just sitting there. So, old or fake, still crappy.








ADDIT: btw, just cause I read it doesn't make it so

Mine have not faded,i have the 26650 MNKE batts.Unless i could/can see the letters MNKE on the batt. itself,...i would not buy.I know some batts get rebranded and relabled,but with these batts and one other brand,i would not buy them without there true labeling.

My 2 still look brand new. They're about 4 months old, I'd guess.

They look like this. I bought 2 to see. They vape fine though, just not sure if they could be fake.

They look legit,like avidvapers MNKE batts.

 

[pdib]

Yeah, they look like mine from avidvaper too. Same little numbers and everything.

Yeah but if the Chinese can duplicate a high dollar tank they can sure make a label......
