    Yes, it's true! ;) -- 'You' can make your own fakes even cheaper than buying on the net......

    No longer do you have to order online and wait weeks or months to get fake li-ion batteries, now you can make your own at home with only a hair dryer!

    Just get any old dead battery from the store/recycling centre/bin and purchase the items below, wrap the old battery in one of the below items and heat with hair dryer..... Hey presto! - You now have brand new Japanese made high quality, high capacity batteries.......

    Or even......

        @Nca78 Only 8800mAH? - I think I'll ask for some 800,000mAH ones in that case :)

        But seriously, we knew that fake batteries were being sold online ( I have some to proove it), but now they are selling openly on the international market the capability for anyone to turn junk into a 'new' branded item? It just shows what China will do to get dollars.....
