Caution! Beware!

Ultrafire 3000mah are being counterfeited. Old Cells are being rewrapped and scammed. I have received samples of this cell that ONLY produced 200mah.

I'm skeptical of the others also.

The highest verified mah of ANY 18650 cell that I have tested is 2600mah.

If you see ads that boast 3600mah or 4000mah 18650's, Maxamps should be selling those! They are fake ratings.

If you want reliable numbers, you have to stick with the trusted name brands.

Sony
Sanyo
Panasonic
Samsung...........Just to name a few.

The first ones look fake. They also have a built in pcb, which you don't want or need.

The second ones you listed are good and for real.

I would have to look it up, but they look to be the same cell as the 2600mah ones that went into my large scale pack.

I vote for #2.
