Honestly, batteries of any kind. Only buy from the manufacturers of the product the batteries work with. If it's underpriced on Amazon, it's probably a fucked up battery that has a higher risk of starting an electrical fire. Portable tool batteries, ebike batteries, handheld system batteries.

I'm not fucking around with unsafe batteries.

Never buy branded batteries on Amazon either.

I always stick with Annsmann, they make incredible rechargeable AAs and AAAs

Ordered a set off Amashit and they were fake, and I've had the same problem with Anker

Fuck Amazon until they sort their MASSIVE counterfeiting problems out
