Nice spotting. :)  Yep I missed it first couple of times as well, the UL number (usually a dead giveaway) etc had been done quite well.    

But when I tried to open the case - it was sealed. 

Whats inside if its zero capacity?

Exactly what I wanted to know out after multi-meter testing showed 0.00V. That's when I discovered case was sealed. Closer inspection revealed a fake.

For the moment I've held off dissecting it because I intend to follow this up with the supplier, (Ray-Tech for those interested).  Once opened I'll post findings

I thought the HP logo looked a bit odd in example A!

It's not a bad effort  tbh, I've seen a lot worse.      For me the red flag was "for use with HP series xxxx-xxx ".

I was thinking A as well as I scrolled down. The print is not as clean as the other.

I take it you've been in touch with Ray Tech regarding it ? :)

Example A shows no capacity, so it that regard it is 100% accurate :)

The XKCD reference

Exhibit A has "Regulatory Model Nu mber"

LOL its not the first looking at their Google reviews :)

Not yet, although it appears I'm not an isolated case if Google or TM are anything to go by ....:) *Ahem

gzt: Do you have a scale to weigh them? Pretty good fake if it is. Weight may be the same.

208g vs 219g (HP)

@outdoorsnz
You're right about the HP logo. I didn't notice earlier.

Update  - I posted this photo ages ago but I see the upload failed.

In case there's any doubt:

It's probably one of the hollow cell fakes.

pop them out and click them together...

I would if the case wasn't sealed, only way in is with a knife (potentially complicating RTB & refund under the CGA).
