So which of these batteries are best and is this site legit

[MFMadHatter]

So I found a site that claims they have authentic sony vtc5's but Ive heard about these IMREN 18650 2600mah 38A 25A continuous,2800mah 35A,and 2900mah 30A
Sony VTC 5 18650 2600mAh LiMN (Flat Top) – ElectronicStix.Com
IMREN IMR 18650 2800mAh 35A 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Battery - IMRbatteries.com
IMREN IMR 18650 2900mAh 30A 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Battery - IMRbatteries.com

electronic stix has been around for a while, so theyve got some credibility in my eyes, but how much i just dont know.
personally, i woudlnt put too much stock in the IMREN cells. ive read some disappointing test results. also ive never heard of IMRbatteries.com.

Ok so could I trust them to get vtc5s from

 

[Kemosabe]

personally, i wouldnt buy them. but that doesnt mean they might not be legit. for me, LG HE2s and Samsung 25Rs are just fine for my needs and authenticity can be confirmed much more easily.

Illumination Supply sells both, and at a very reasonable price point.

No Vtc5's atm, I won't even try to find them, I would go to RTDvapor and get some Samsung 25r or LG batteries. Also I believe i have read multiple threads that state that there really aren't any true 35amp batteries on the market. IMO I would just order from RTD that way you know you get an authentic battery.

agreed. RTD is another A+ battery vendor. also, i think ecf5 still works for 5% off.

imrbatteries is legit. And, they have Samsung 25Rs on sale right now for $5.85 each. Shipping is also dirt cheap.

eBay sellers genuinecells and randyd88 sell Authentic LG and Samsung cells.

I need authentic vtc5s, or if anyone knows if imren batteries are what they claim

IMR must have something jacked up with their payment profile. Wouldn't take my card. Tried 2 different ones. Ended up paying with paypal and it went through.

I've read that the imren cells have really poor longevity.
