<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MentalVirus, post: 1267305, member: 33177&quot;]Ah, makes a little more sense then I guess.&nbsp; Like I said, I&#039;m not aware of the history with these issues.&nbsp; At first I was surprised to find out just how prevalent these fakes are but then again it makes sense too...especially when it comes to the Chinese.&nbsp; They tend to end up counterfeiting anything worth value!&nbsp; I had thought I got a real good deal on a couple Canon batteries for my 5D Mark II that were normally close to $100/ea.&nbsp; Turns out they perform like crap and with a little research, they are cheap (yet overpriced) Chinese ripoffs!&nbsp; They look almost identical and even come in a Canon box! Ridiculous but it&#039;s the way it is I guess.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BadThad, thanks for the input.&nbsp; Since you have seen this &quot;exact&quot; fake many times, do you have any info/background on it?&nbsp; Do you indeed think it is Chinese?&nbsp; And do you have any idea how old these fakes might be?&nbsp; I&#039;m very curious as to whether these must have been acquired recently or if he might have actually got them many years ago?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
