PenesamiG - Knock-Off Batteries

I'm a big fan of engrish, and cheap product knock-offs entertain the heck out of me, so when I saw that a pack of really cheap led touch-lights were full of knock-off Panasonic batteries I couldn't resist buying them.

PenesamiG Batteries

Each light contained 3 AAA PenesamiG batteries. The packaging looks almost identical to Panasonic's batteries. The big difference? Besides the fact that these things probably last less than 10% as long as a real battery, the darn things squish and bend if you apply any pressure to the side.

I'm now the proud owner of 18 little fire hazards.

    PenesamiG batteries are the best. I hear Matthew Jorban uses them.
