So I bought 2 LG HB6 18650 pinkies from LiionWholesale. When I got them, one is 3500 mAh, and the other is 1500 mAh. What are the possible consequesnces of this difference? Is it JUST a matter of one dying faster than the other, or could there be more harm done if I use them? They'll be used in a mech mod that only needs 1 18650, so they won't ever be used together. Advice?

Take a look at this chart..The one that is 1500mah, is rated for 30a. Meaning if you build low, you'll be good.
I don't see a 3500 mAh lg on there, but I know they had one. I'm not sure of its current rating; but, I think that was more of a flashlight battery for 8a.

Can you post a pic of those? The wrapper with the labeling?
The only 3500mah lg I can find is a 10a battery in a green wrapper.
@Jon@LiionWholesale may also know more.

well, fuck me running. I reckon, ive not seen that before. But, my instinct tells me that its typo on the label. BUT, I personally wouldn't run it, for fear that its wrong wrapper on a 10a battery.
I could very well be wrong, but as bad as my face is, I prefer to keep it without any new scars.

I peeled the stickers off and undetneath on the wrapper was printed "LGDAHB61865" just like the HB6 in the pic you posted. Can that be a typo too? Is there a way to test the battery and find out for sure? Would a multimeter do it?
Certainly mislabeled but I would talk to Jon at liion to comfirm everything...The sticker is no big deal I usually take them off my batteries if they have them anyway...My guess is you have two HB6,s but I would still confirm it with Jon

I would go by the printing on the battery itself, but to be sure I would wait for Jon to chime in. The added sticker is required for international shipment.
Those are put on by the shipper per US regs. Pull them off and the printing on the battery should be the same.
+1 for mislabeled.
Liion Wholesale is a pretty reputable company so Id say you've got 2 legit HB6s there but they might like to know about the error. Maybe send them some pics of the error, show pics of both the sitcker on and sticker off. Never hurts to be cautious but I would say you have nothing to worry about.

any response to this?
from what i understand those outside stickers don't really mean much, they are just required before shipping, still not really worth the risk in case it was a mistake.

Sorry didn't see these notifications. Yes unfortunately one batch of HB6's our shipper put the wrong stickers on and some of these got out. Just peel the stickers off and if it says "LGDAHB61865" then they're HB6 and they're 1500mAh, so don't worry about what the sticker said. Sorry for the confusion!
