I no longer trust this store. I bought a bunch of epoch batteries here. Something like 20% of them were at less than a volt, and another 20% between 1 and 2 volts. Everything was able to charge, some requiring a lab power supply because my chargers refused to work with them. I don't know how longevity or capacity has been affected. The reviews for this battery all say the same thing, including mentions of talking to customer service, so the company is aware of the problem and shipped them out anyway.

It was these specific cells:
https://www.18650batterystore.com...-25p-18650

I see a lot fewer dead-cell reviews than I remember, and all the ones that mention dead cells are 4 star reviews. I really think they weeded out low star reviews. I looked at every 18650 cell and they all appear to have an average 5 star rating. Digging through I can't find a single review less than 4 stars. It's the same with chargers, and every other item I can find. I call shenanigans on this whole website.

Did you buy when they were $1? I can't find a review below 4 stars, but a few people did mention getting low voltage cells when they were $1 a few months back. One person got them replaced from Customer Service, and yours is the only negative experience I can find.

If your battery pack needs replacement 18650 battery cells then yeah, I don't see why not.

Almost $10 for shipping 6 batteries. But still the price per battery for legit 25Rs was decent.
