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!

  1. I have a few GodP batteries here. in fact, I found your blog because I was specifically searching for them to buy more. I noticed that a lot of the "GodP" batteries available on Ebay do not look like the ones I have. your photo looks nothing like the batteries that I have.

    i think you may have inadvertently bought fake batteries.

    this is what mine look like:
