For batteries and other everyday items, I find the AmazonBasics brand a good way to dodge the fake items. Amazon at least stands behind the quality of their own brand. But often it's just as expensive as the other name brands.

- ceejayoz 7y agoThe first customer photo for the Wyze is one that caught fire, so maybe you're better off with the Amazon one. Isn't Wyze's market placement as a low-cost alternative, anyways?
