Counterfeit batteries?

Compatible not counterfeit. I was never lead to believe these were OEM Batteries. The picture says "FOR CANON NB6L"

No, I don't believe so. They are just not name brand. I have used them for the past couple years and have been very happy with them.

I'mm not sure what you mean or why you ask this. The batteries work fine in the camera and are the same make and quality as the originals that came with my camera.Hope this helps!

Clones, not counterfeits. It's just like when other companies besides IBM started making PCs. They do the same thing as the originals and have the same specs. My wife uses them in her camera. We just came back from a week's vacation, and the battery worked flawlessly.

Yes, when I contacted LifeProof, I discovered that the LifeProof case I bought from Amazon was also counterfeit.

I ordered 2 of these, and I received the real deal, sealed in the Milwaukee package. Works great, improved the use of my M12 tools greatly. The run time is awesome with this battery, and also doubles as a tool stand. I already had one, bought from the big box store, so I compared them, and it's not a counterfeit. Hope this helps

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)

I been very happy with mine.. they seem to be no different than Duracell batteries that I buy from a local store.. I have had no reason to doubt they are real Duracell batteries..at a very reasonable price.

The labels are often fakes. To see if it is real, peel off the label and look at the printing on the metal shell. If it says 2600mah, it is real, or at least as real as you need. If it says 1050mah, or 1000mah or anything other than 2600mah, it is fake. mah is milli-amp hours, the capacity of the battery, realistically, a measure of how long it will last. The original battery is 2600mah, many fakes are labelled as 2600mah but aren't. in theory a 1000mah will last about 40% (less than half!) of the original when it was new. If these really are 2500mah, they are fairly good and close but the real originals were 2600mah. The labels are often fakes.

Just for you, I checked the label on my original and extra battery, thoroughly mixed up over several years. Both have authentic Sony labels so I would guess fakes reported by others are relatively recent. With respect to the comment about "G", below, note that it is a size moniker <http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Cameras-Camcorders/what-is-the-difference-between-a-G-type-and-a-N-type-bat/td-p/274164>

The ones I bought in March 2015 from Amazon and RCShoppers are counterfeit although the Amazon listing says they are from Arduino. RCShoppers is not acknowledging their fraud or cooperating with the return process.

Why is AMAZON itself selling fake or counterfeit batteries. I bought SONY two slot charger/AC Adapter and it only displays all the data on my original NP-FV50 and NOT the new from AMAZON, not a marketplace seller, NP-FV70 battery in retail packaging I just got. It does not ever display the BATTERY LIFE info or time left for charging etc like the LCD displays on my NP-FV50 that came packed with my camcorder. Very upsetting that AMAZON itself is selling what seems to be fake copies, as there is no reason they should not display the data on screen of charger. It says non-sony batteries do not have the communication circuitry to display this info on charger instruction sheet that came with SONY dual slot charger/AC adapter.

I think it is very important to know this. I have lately received products that were seconds. I probably would have bought them anyway because they were defective in ways that I was willing to accept for the lower price, but there are other defects or substitutions that are not acceptable. Certainly fake or counterfeit products are not acceptable. This is important information to share in order make sellers responsible for their wares --whether or not the deception is intentional.

Wow, that's a new one! I have purchased and installed half a dozen non-OEM batteries over the past 5 years, and never had a problem with rejection by the hardware. Call the computer manufacturer, and if they admit to this foolishness, please post it here, because I NEVER want to own that brand!

It's impossible to say because there are multiple sellers on Amazon selling this, and there's no guarantee that any of them are selling genuine batteries. There are typically some telltale signs you can look for after you get a battery though. The back of my fake batteries have weird font size, spacing and alignment issues. It also has a 5 with circular arrows around it, and a PSE with a circle around it, and my original genuine Nokia battery have neither of those. Also the hologram sticker on the fake battery doesn't have as strong of a 3D effect as the real battery.

Depends....mine was counterfeit. Be aware that everything you buy from Amazon doesn't come from the Amazon warehouses. There are often 3rd party resellers involved - that's where the bogus items come from. If the item states "sold and shipped by Amazon", it's usually the real deal. So....just make sure Amazon is the seller.

It just came in a plastic bag for me. I felt it was counterfeit but have been using it regularly now and have not faced any problems so far. Just ensure your are using the original charger for your phone as I was initially using a low power charger initially and thought it was problem with the battery!

I think you have a fake. My batteries have only a month and year date stamp which is the expiration date of the battery. There are a lot of fake surefire batteries out there. Only buy from surefire direct or through one of their dealers.
