unless I actually held that battery in my hand, I would be VERY cynical about believing anything based on an unverified picture on FB.
Just think of all those vegan & anti farmer pictures that people complain about ? Just because there is a picture, doesn’t make it true . . .

It doesn't surprise me. A lot of lithium ion 18650 cells that come out of China can be cut open with a Stanley knife to reveal an ordinary AA battery inside!

just because it’s an “Australian” fb page doesn’t mean I’m any more likely to believe it. It’s just more anti China bulls**t that everyone wants to agree with.
notice the poster on fb doesn’t even claim it as his or his picture - just something he’s “passing on”
They’ve even blanked out the manufacturers name of the battery ? WTF ? If you wanted to name & shame, show the manufacturer, show the country of origin . . .
That’s EXACTLY the tactics used by any group trying to discredit anyone else, including vegan attacks against farmers . . .
confirmation bias - whoever we are, be tend to believe things without question that align with our own personal prejudices . . .

have you personally done this ?
have you seen it first hand with your own eyes ?
Or is this something else that was “passed on” from someone else ?

I could copy & put up that EXACT picture & say, look what happens when you buy a UK battery, a Japanese battery, a battery from anywhere I choose to make a negative point against.

I could put up a picture of a dead calf on a vegan page & say this is how UK farmers murder their animals & no one on that page would question my authenticity, because it aligns with their already formed prejudices against livestock farmers
do you understand my point ?
just because someone with a grudge against farmers or China put up a picture, doesn’t make it true
that’s all I’m saying

And don’t think I am an apologist for China or pro China in anyway, they have cost Australian agriculture $billions in the last year or so with lost trade of cotton, wine, barley etc & have bought up heaps of land here. We have also spent the last 15 years fighting a proposal from a Chinese govt owned mining company to develop a vast open cut coal mine only 7 km upstream from here - so I am no great fan myself
