A cheap and poor quality Lithium battery brand with an all too honest name??

There was a 'Surefire' too. And was there a 'Megafire'....?
Still have a few old Ultrafire 18650s kicking around. They haven't burned my house down yet but then I never leave them charging without keeping a very close eye on them :o

Yes the clue is it the titles of all these batteries and chargers I had some but they all were disposed of not worth the risk . 😢

The best I have seen was "Mailfire", could explain Royal Mail's attitude to shipping Li Ion cells.
I dont really believe that "Ultrafire" is actually a brand name, but a a sort of "free for all" brand name used by a lot of different factories.
Trustfire at one time were not too bad, as reported on the "Torchy" website, but they went down the drain eventually.
