Not sure if that's what you're looking for or not, but it seems to have the same part number. Only problem is it's from China, so will probably take forever to get there.

Someone actually decided to name their batteries "UltraFire"???

Suggested slogan: "Our cheap eBay cells burst into flames waaaay before the competition"



But I have no idea - they could be very good.

That company is more to do with flashlights. Other flashlight comapny names are Surefire, Spiderfire, Uniquefire, Trustfire, Smallsun, Longsun, Fenix to name a few but not many of them label batteries. Pretty funny what you said, from an rc perspective.

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.
