A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Why do I still recommend rewrapped batteries?

Why did I remove the Aspire but include the iJoy, Efest, and other rewrapped batteries in my updated recommended batteries table?

I removed the Aspire 18650 from the table because, whenever I can, I will no longer support and give free advertising to battery companies that lie to us about their ratings. Even if they have a great battery. If it is, just tell us the true ratings!

I am forced to keep the rewrapped 18350 and 26650 batteries in my table because we have no other choices. There are no Samsung, Sony, LG, or Panasonic/Sanyo batteries to choose from in those sizes. There is an old Panasonic and Sony 26650 that you can still find being sold but there are a huge number of fakes out there and the genuine ones are years old. Not worth taking a chance on in my opinion.

So, for now at least, I must keep 18350 and 26650 batteries with exaggerated ratings in the table. I don’t ever see that changing as the 26650 market is tiny and probably not worth developing new cells for, but who knows.
