Beware of GODP 3000 mAH Rechargeable Batteries

More than a month ago I ordered four of these batteries from YNOTNEW a seller on eBay. They promise that these batteries are 3000 mAH and for $5.00 (five bucks including shipping) it was a good deal.

As I have a good battery charger I could test and measure the real voltage and capacity of these batteries. I did a TEST/CHARGE on them and:

To my surprise the capacities were: 738 mAH, 748 mAH, 723 mAH, and 900 mAH! and their voltages were 1.38, 1.39, 1.39, 1.32 respectively. VEEEEERY FAR FROM THE PROMISED 3000 mAH!

GODP 3000MAH

SOOOO, beware of these fake batteries please! Do yourself a favor and buy Eneloops or Sony CycleEnergy or Rayovac's Hybrids.

p.s. Probably ynotnew, the eBay seller, didn't know about this but he/she must be careful about who is the provider of this FAKE BATTERIES!
