What battery is this?

[Adee]

Like the tital says can someone tell me what battery this is?

i bought it from a reputable b&m shop when I was brand new to mechanical mods which was about 4 months ago. I needed a 26650 battery and I remember reading In here never to skimp on batteries so i asked them for the best they had. This is what they gave me.

I havent had any problems with it but would just like to know what make. I think it might be a sony but not sure.

It is a sony battery I can see the "SE" at the front of the writing

Doesn't the sony come with a 'black dotty' (sorry I can't think of the correct word) picture on the side as well?

You really need to take a picture without the wrap around it.... It should say US18650VTC5/4/3 if you have a vtc5 or 4 or 3

This is what a authentic Sony VTC should look and read

It's a 26650 cell. Sony SE US26650VT to be exact.

Now I see where it says "26650" its hard to read.... This is a VERY rare cell by the way.

Sony stopped making 26650 around June.

Not really Rare yet. 18650's are still outselling 26650's by a wide margin. several reliable venders have them in stock.
