Anyone try any knock off ego batteries?

So I am thinking about picking up a spare battery or two, handy to have charged up in case I forget to charge or one of my ego twists dies. I have two 650mah and was going to get a 900mah this time round as I would usually go through atleast a battery and a half a day. They aren't crazy expensive but then I saw this on eBay,

Anyone here tried any knock off batteries? Would I be better off going ahead and paying the extra few euro for the real thing? Was only thinking about to because I could get two knock offs for around the price of one actual ego.

they're not knock offs, they actually predate the twists


they're ok but in the age of ego twists and vision spinners I dont know why anyone would get one

Okay, thanks ill prob just go ahead and get a proper ego twist, it's not that much more tbf.

yeah iirc the twists are smaller too and have better battery life. those batteries have had their time.

I have one and it's knackered - and I never really used it either, bought it as it's white and 650mah for out n about, probably used 5 times, just stopped working, it charges apparently but then nothing...
Just my experience anyway.
Some could be just like the real thing.

I have another eGo, 450, not a Twist and its been going great.
Maybe they just can't configure Twists to hold up.
