I've found Aliex no worse than Ebay for scam/knock off stuff.

I agree, and I use Ali quite a bit for low cost items, particularly electronic tools etc. Had a few things from teemoo as well.

This particular "purchase" came via an ad on FB, and alleged to be from an Am a zon registered reseller. Yeah, well we'll see.

Oh, and don't buy anything branded waukee, dewalt etc, especially batteries and chargers, just not worth the risk, imo. I have bought a kit to assemble my own M18, using 21700 cells. Kit seems good, cells sourced locally. Just a little hesitant to trust the BMS supplied, but an original waukee 18650 type might be ok. Need to do some research.

Be interested in knowing how you get on with the fuel pumps. I would like to fit some to my OKA.

Hi
I bought a $25 'Makita battery' pruning saw, not expecting it to be genuine.
If it had been compatible with a Makita battery I would be happy.
Nope, very cheap battery.
I did get $25 worth of work from it though, and still runs. The spare chain is not used yet so I guess I'm in front.
Cheers
