Thank you for this. I've been ripped off twice now with fakes from EBAY. They work for about 2 months and then dead and will not recharge. Might be safer just to buy from local hardware stores.

I just bought a Genuine Milwaukee 8.0 XC HD (not cheap) for use in my power head string trimmer. I did perform quite well, BUT... I had trouble removing it. turns out the terminal with a Minus sign had melted the plastic (no damage on the tool). Using your tips, the buttons are redder than my original XC5.0 (~ Y2010 that came with the tool). The indents on the buttons match a set of known knock-offs, and are different from the originals. As you pointed out: It was fully charged. What was different from yours, this package was button welded.

I almost bought a fake JBL Bluetooth speaker off eBay unknowingly. I contacted eBay several times about the fake listings and eBay didn’t do a damn thing. eBay allowed the listings to stay up and other eBay customers bought the fake products while eBay sat there and allowed it

I was skeptic on buying power tools on ebay. A couple of years ago I bought a Milwaukee m12 detail polisher from a seller in Korea. The price was right so I bought it. I haven't used it yet but it looks legit. Lately i bought a few more tools from a seller in Canada. So far so good but i have seen cheap Milwaukee batteries on ebay and i can easily tell to stay away from them. I always watch for deals from the box stores like home depot. 👍
