A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Plastic wrap changes for LG batteries

LG Chem is changing the outer plastic wrap for its round batteries. I’ve only seen it on one type of battery so far but it seems that it will be on all of them eventually.

The changes include adding a 2D barcode box, adding warning text, and changing model numbers to match international naming standards.

Here’s are images of LG Chem’s announcement: https://imgur.com/a/QtLVCKB

This DOES NOT mean the LG batteries with the older wraps are “bad”. This DOES NOT mean the performance of any LG batteries has changed. There WILL eventually be fakes using this new wrap format. Do not assume any LG battery with the new wraps has to be genuine.

That’s everything I know as of now.
