Fake batteries.. How bad are they?

[413x]

Picked up what I think are some fake batteries. Eneloop 1900.

They were off ebay and price was maybe too good. Seller had good feedback.

So they are probably fake. But what does mean? Dangerous? Just rubbish? Not as good as rated?

Just curious if it's worth keeping them.

How do you even get genuine batteries? Amazon are basically all resellers

I think they are fake as there's a line of text on battery that isn't in line with most of the pics. It's slightly off centre

I bought them from there as to be honest I didn't know where to guarantee genuine!

Least if cheap and fake better than rrp and fake!

How cheap? IIRC last time I bought some they were about £6 for 4.

And that was from a legit seller who also had an eBay shop (BatteryLogic).

e: Yikes they've gone up a lot since then. £11 for 4 now

I paid 15 for 8
