There is another brand that make many interesting 18v tools. RYOBI, and I'm surprise its a japanese brand. Their target market is home DIY thus the cheap price and battery format that never change for 20 years. Many used ryobi tool available in taobao
Thanks for the recommendation.
Used or fake... hmm. Sometime taobao is really flooded with fake items
The original cell must able to draw high amp. Which is more expensive.
Cloned wan normally lower amp and use normal cell. Sure cheaper.
I have such an experience with power bank and laptop battery. Where the board spoil. But the battery cell is fine.
And all the clone battery are not up to the capacity spec on the label. I rip off such battery and test their capacity.
So the cheap clone battery don't expecting same Ah.
i been playing with 18650 batteries, these battery are common. On 18650 also have two type, one with inbuild circuit one without, and both are use for different purpose. The cheap ones that come with circuit protection are as good as useless, it can try your sensitive device.
The cheap ones cannot product sustained high current drawn. Sometime you risk burning the battery if drain are too high to be handle.
Sometime I'm thinking, is the clone battery actually 2nd grade battery or just the big brands has damn high markup? (to cover for insurance and their team of lawyers in case the battery blow up).
Coz some of the OEM battery seller claims their 18650 are actually from samsung/sony too. 6 years shop in taobao, with some feedback of battery DOA but non complain the battery is under capacity/under power.
Plus some youtube channel that open up OEM batteries to show the cells are actually the same as original. Thats the thing that got me thinking...
Hard to tell, is like car battery they have grade. Quality product always have longer lifespan. Only time will tell.
If have ezbuy prime account, can buy from amazon, they will settle the shipment until landed to Malaysia for flat rate 8.80, + RM xx.xx local shipment.
Not bad this printer. Not much problem setup and straight away can print without master it. Only need to learn how to level the bed to get a good print. Which is not difficult.
