One of the batteries I was shipped started smoking when I attempted to charge it. Are these batteries genuine or cheap chinese knock offs?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I do not know where they are manufactured or how long you have had them. I would think that if you had not had them very long AMAZON might replace them. I have had no issues with either of my 4 batteries or my 2 chargers.

Did you plug it in right? I plugged it in 1st time & it got hot!! Turned charger over & it charged up fine.

These batteries are made in china, as most of them are, I have charged mine 2 times so far and they are working fine, you might try Panasonic batteries, they are made in Japan, but they do cost more.

did the battery get hot or not? I think the smoke come from the charger, because this charger is not good, but batterys is ok. How long you charge it? I charge it about 4 hours then the light turn green and it even not warm after charge(I use a different charger to charge it)

Uncertain. A colleague of mine received two batteries and (knock on wood) they are still working fine. For now ... I have placed this in my lessons-learned folder labeled, "you get what you pay for". +++ Am in the process of returning them.

You should call customer service. Fyi, these batteries either work okay (for not very long) or arrive completely dead and never work. I say this after buying almost a dozen of them over a few years period, for myself and 3 family members. Make sure you buy from a vendor that clearly states a specific warranty. Otherwise you got a 30 dollar brick.

All I can tell you are these are not real olympus batteries. I bought these and one would not charge and the other one would hold a charge for about a day. Buy from olympus and get the real thing.

The battery that I purchased from GizGalaxy is counterfeit. The package, and battery say Sony, but pay close attention to the battery. The one I received says "SONY COPP." instead of "SONY CORP.", like the original battery that I purchased back in 2000. Sony does not make mistakes like this on their products. This is most likely a Chinese knockoff being sold as a genuine product.

mine was the rip off, but if yu get supplied from Amazon they should be genuine.

No, these are definitely not knock-offs. These are what the government and industry buys. They are a heavier duty battery, i.e. longer life.

I had the same issue when I purchased 100 AAA batteries.. they were apparently from china (as they had Chinese writing all over them) and ruined several of my items. and the seller I got them from would not do anything about it

Maybe, but these batteries are falsely labely and have varying outputs, nothing like what is stated. Plus these batteries are not protected and can possibly burst. I should warn you that the charges can catch fire easily too. These are imitation batteries. They should be around 10$ for 1 quality battery.

The battery I received was a clone. It was not the same battery as pictured. It won't fit the charger or my sawsall, light or drill. I lost the shipping I was charged in returning. I suggest you go to your Sears store and they will make sure you get the proper battery. I am done with Amazon.

If it's a counterfeit you should buy it on the skills of the counterfeiters! Seriuosly though, mine was a real Milwaukee battery in a sealed Milwaukee pack. No fears.

If you look at the picture of the back you can see that it is not Genuine. It is possible that some people are getting a genuine battery but that is just a sticker. If you want to see what real one looks like go to B&H.;

My battery has been working fine. I am not sure what battery you're talking about. I used it for over 3 weeks and just had to recharge it today. I am guessing they are shipping with better batteries.

I ordered two from this seller before but the third one I ordered was a complete fake shipped from China! Don't know what happened but I won't order from this seller again!

And you said you ARE using genuine Nikon batteries? I read where some of the cheaper batteries do not have a chip that nikon cameras read as an authentic battery. A lot of the grips are having problems with "non-chipped" batteries..... Just a thought

hi, i totally understand your apprehension. i kind of bit the bullet when i ordered it, but i was very happy to find that the one i received was a genuine lenovo battery.
