Trusted retailers that don't sell fake batteries .. need an authentic LG HG2

[Flt Simulation]

I am looking to replace some old Efest IMR-18650 (red label) batteries and have decided on buying a few LG HG2 18650 batteries.

As many fakes / re-skinned batteries that are sold to unsuspecting buyers, can anyone here list a couple of retailers here in the US that deal only in authentic batteries at a fair price?

Thanks a bunch

I wonder if Orbtronic is selling authentic LG batteries?

A very dependable supplier. I get all my batts from RTD.

I've been using IMR. They send battery cases and extra wraps with every order.

Thanks everyone for all the help ....

I don't normally ask 'where to buy', but with all the re-labled fake batteries sold lately, I just wanted some input from the forum members ... it helps a lot.

Another vote for RTD Vapor.

Funny enough I just got a set of HG2s for my Noisy Cricket from them, they work great!

I must say i am impressed with your knowledge about how many fakes are out there being sold to unsuspected buyers , most just go to Ebay (worst place ever to buy batteries) and buy the cheapest they could find.

RTD Vapor is where all of my batteries come from.
