Interesting. In France, there's a vape shop that advertises batteries as Samsung, Sony, etc.
For instance: https://www.lepetitvapoteur.com/en/batteries/5185-samsung-30q-18650-3000mah-battery.html https://www.lepetitvapoteur.com/en/batteries/5185-samsung-30...
Although, I do have a pair of these in front of me right now, bought a few years ago, and I can't find any mention of Samsung, or any other manufacturer, on them.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoSeems like a shady vape shop then if they still advertise it.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoI've found another vape shop advertising those [0]. I would have expected consumer protection to crack down on them for false advertising, since this is in France and these shops have been operating for at least two years. They also have physical locations, so it's not like they're some kind of "dark store" that moves every week...

They're advertised as batteries for "industrial solutions". https://www.conrad.com/p/samsung-icr18650-26-non-standard-battery-rechargeable-18650-flat-top-li-ion-37-v-2550-mah-1436400 https://www.conrad.com/p/samsung-icr18650-26-non-standard-ba...
