this is regarding breaker's Sony Charger..

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=186654

my verdict ;

breaker's charger = Vcool's charger = suspected fake

really appreciate if u're willing to do that.....

me can also but then at this moment quite bz....

but i have done a survey last 2 weeks at Sony Style KLCC & Lowyat Plaza..

unfortunately i didnt bring my camera at that time

Actually i noticed something different a few weeks ago when ppl started bulking that product (i mean... come on.. nearly half price , and i was thinking gettting one too.. but at the end i juz bought from a shop to be safe) esp. after the huge fiasco on fake-batts thats going on..., just that i want to compare more shops to make a solid confirmation before replying to the 'ppl who selling this sony batt-charger'.

lol.. btw i imagine when i wanna take a pic of the 'legit' batt-charger.. "Boss, can u take out Sony batt-charger and let me take a pic?"... ..heh.. anywayz, im gonna do it hopefully before this weekend (unless someone else volunteered).

Cheers

hi all, there is a lots of buyer asking me about this, this is the same explaination that i have given to them.

1.) It's imported from china.
2.) The manufacture claim that they used to make battery for sony, therefore we actually just place order and expect that they will provide us with the same quality as sony.
3.) We have our demo units to test before purchase in quantity, it's working perfectly.
4.) Received some feedbacks from customers, our current action:
4.1) Change a new one until it works well or refund if it can't work.
4.2) Stop importing.
5.) For the first batch our product is great, no defects. but when it comes to second batch we did receive much of defective units. All the loss is covering by ourself and we change every defect unit with 1-to-1 swap to our customer.

Last but not least, I hope my little action would help.

So far how many unit u had bought from vcool?

I also bought some from vColl and breaker..
But we must consider the quality item ( Original ) is too expensive
Around 150 above..
But they sell it rm69-70...
Half of the original price
So.. Surely the quality is more worst...

No, the fact is, they told us it's original from sony. Now, that's cheating. I'm buying one myself, and i feel cheated, i think it's only appopriate if mr. VCool could've told me it's fake, in the first place. You know, i even give this to my brother, now i'm a cheap ******* who gave their brother fake stuff. Imagine that! I never opened the charger and check the "ingredients", i guess someone should do something.

As I said before in my previous posts, there's a big difference if it's water goods and fake stuff. I thought i'm buying water goods, but i'm getting a fake stuff. I'm very angry now, if only someone would take action. The charger is a few thousand KMs away from me now, i wish i could get it back, dissect it and let you all know what's inside, once and for all. If anyone willing, send me a unit and let me analyse the content of this charger. FYI it's easy to read the IC and determine if it's really contain the voltage monitoring function, temp monitor, bla bla. Maybe I'll even ask my brother to send it back to me, it's a shame to give someone a fake item, it's even worse if you don't know it's a fake, in the first place.

agree with earnie ball.....

i bought that charger bcoz i thought it was original stuff but smuggled stock or water set or whatever la..

in the end, i found out it's purely shit..

seller doesnt tell us this info...

now i'm using genuine GP Charger + 8x 1600mAH = RM 65 (bought at PCFair)

very happy with these battery.

even though 1600mAH but last longer than fake Sony 2300mAH.

1 unit.. 1st and last.....

some seller sell stuff claimed their stuff to be genuine and original by manufacturer....
so it seems like its the responsible of the manufacturer or distributor and not the seller's fault.....

then, i think that if someone is gonna sell things(no matter genuine or immitated or fake stuff) here, they can still push the responsible to the manufacturer or distributor.... then after some discussion with the distributor(dunno does the discussion really happen), then say cannot be change or refund.... forumers here will be in troubles after getting those stuff and the seller cant do anything also....

erm.... in short, i think that the seller has the full responsibility of the stuff they are selling.... and dont blame it on the distibutor....the seller should confirm everything, if anything happen, the seller have to refund or make a replacement and dont give an answer like waiting reply from the distributor as we hardly know does the distributor ever exist.....

Here are pics of fake 2300 from bulk order, vs real 2100 bought from Key Color Midvalley. Last pic the fake battery got some tape glue stuck on it.

Peowyong, agree with u. Some fake stuff seller, macam drug dealer when tertangkap police, "Oh.. i thought it was flour. Drugs ar? ".

ceo684 : Good one upon the comparison there.... i noticed the build of the fake batts looks different too.. look at the pic below:-

Update : it seems another seller selling sonybatts too.. --> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=189754 , the seller stated its from Japan.. can anyone verify whether its a "orignal sony batts"?...


Since im in this topic abt FAKE items.. theres another item i was wondering for quite a long time... and the item its the "Swarovski Crystals"... wanted to get for my friends's bday.. but i noticed the price also nearly "60% off" compared the ones i saw in shops... so i asked the seller whether theres "certificate of authenticity", he/she said "it doesnt comes with it"..

But.. if not mistaken, all "genuine swarovski crystals" does comes with a "certificate of authenticity".

So, the main thing i wanna know its... does the "seller" considered selling fake-item, when he/she said its "genuine" and it doesnt comes with "certificate of authenticity"?.. i hope u peeps can solve my curiosity

Cheers

Original sony batteries font is not so thick a la the fakes.

Original sony... got a "gold ring" at the intersection between the orange and the silver sections (i think better use a camera and take macro pic to see better if u are buying).

PS.
If anyone wants original cheap, I suggest buying these Sanyo 2500 at RM23 / 2AA. I bought from him also. Real good originals.
