Shopping for batteries today and found this funny. Good name for a battery.

Trustfire, Surefire, the real truth, the products will catch fire for Sure, Trust us.

You do know that those plastic sleeves are available for sale, to be shrunk over any 18650 cell, giving you a brand name cell and capacity, irrespective of the original cell type or capacity. Almost all of the cells are either recycled ones from old packs, rejects from a manufacturing plant or other unwanted cells with no real manufacturer support.

I didn't know they made primary lithium cells too... their 18650s are "OK" but a bit overrated as usual:

Their 32650 is not overrated, surprisingly enough:
