That’s hilarious and sad. They outsourced their brand to the cheapest Chinese shit they could find. Stick to making candy, ja?

We’ll see in a couple of months when these things start failing/catching fire just like every other cheaply-made battery.

It’s not like they come with warranties or some magical immediate money back guarantee. And I doubt they wanted this to be a long term thing, they made their money already and anything happening post that has no effect on that. Money made, that’s it, the people can burn for all they care.
