Help with batteries

[Jarhed98]

Hello all, pretty new to vaping. I recently bought some LGHE4 and Samsung 25R batteries. The ones I received had stickers on them. When I was doing research and looking on websites they showed stamping of information on the battery and not stickers...did I get rewraps?

GENUINE BATTERIES HAVE A WRAP AROUND THEM
SAMSUNG 25RS CAN BE EITHER LIGHT BLUE OR LIGHT GREEN

he4 should be yellow

Many many stores put stickers on the batteries, all of mine have a sticker on them. I'm no expert but they look legit to me.

Easier to tell if we can see the printing underneath the stickers and the top (up close) of the batteries.

I won't swear to it but I recall seeing somewhere that the stickers are an air freight requirement.

I just got in 6 HG2s and all of them were stickered as well.

Ding ding! Due to the potentially explosive and volatile nature of lithium batteries and many other batteries, they are required to carry individual labels identifying precisely what type of battery they are. Size, voltage, capacity, and chemistry are all mandatory.

So basically, all batteries shipped by air will carry these labels at some point. Since most of the batteries we use are not made or re-wrapped domestically, it stands to reason that most batteries on the market will bear these stickers.

What's always been stranger to me is receiving batteries that don't have the stickers on them.
I always imagine some guy sitting at an assembly line in a domestic warehouse meticulously removing each sticker.

Yep and since August 7th of this year even domestically shipped batteries will have to be tagged if they meet the requirements under (HMR; 49 CFR 171-180).

Thanks everyone. My dumbass didn't think to look under the stickers. At first glance, with the stickers on them, the batteries look generic. But they are legit.
