Random spam email:
Hi Dear,
This is Milly from Shenzhen Data Power Technology Ltd. We are lithium polymer battery manufacture in China.
Do you have any interest in lithium batteries?
If you want good quality lithium battery, Data Power will always your good choice.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any requirement.
I’m sorry to bother you this time. Have a nice day.
Best regards,
If Chinese factories are randomly spamming the world to sell batteries then I’d say there’s little shortage of production capacity.
I’m sure there is an immense shortage of production of batteries that meet the EC2014.55/D subsection C requirements, or Title 69 CFR Paragraph 12b regulations, etc, etc, etc…
Absolutely shocking… As anyone knows, a letter starting “Hi dear,” should end “Yours truly”. Whatever is the world coming to?
The assumption that the spammer has any batteries at all is quite brave.
What Geoffers said. They don’t want to sell you batteries, Tim; they want you to let them empty your bank account, once they’ve suckered you in.
I’d echo Geoffers on this. What are they actually selling? The sausage or the sizzle? Batteries or the idea of batteries?
Randomly spamming is unlikely to produce half million dollar orders for product. But could reap a rich harvest of mugs.
Sigh
What is the world coming to, with spam battery manufacturers. In MY day it was hot Russian girls seek husbands in West…
They still are, Otto.. They still are.. Along with the various advancements in Modern Science to help you impress said ladies with your prowess..
+1000% Otto!!!
It’s not quite random spam, I expect they have you on a business mailing list because of your metal interests. At my previous employer we got lots of emails like this from various metal box makers and capacitor manufacturers, etc. Every one we bothered to check out was genuine (Shenzhen Data Power Technology Ltd appears legit) and we even had a successful supply of some quality parts.

I used to get adverts for “Mature ladies in Steyning”, which for some reason I never found particularly alluring.
FWIW, they are a perfectly real battery company, I used to buy batteries from them until the MOQ got a bit too high for a one-man company to carry. So now, I think, they supply my customer directly. And they do offer some certification which I believe in just as wholeheartedly as I believe any Chinese cerification claim.
The guy who emails me, by the way, is called Kaka…
Hi Milly chuck,
We don’t need any lithium, ta duck. We’ve got plenty down at Wainwright’s household emporium and gent’s barbers.
Tara!
Sam Vara, better than adverts for “Steyning mature ladies.”
Somehow – and this might just be me – I suspect there is no Milly, and if there is a Milly, she isn’t connected to any sort of legitimate Chinese business.
Why won’t anyone have sex with us? 🙁
Can someone please crack on with a decent fucking battery, this lithium shite has been around since the chuffing nineties and is rubbish. Let’s have something cheap and light that charges super fast and then we can unchain a load of cool progress.
@You don’t get many of these
You’ll be wanting the Dilithium Crystals then, but quite often you’ll find that they cannae handle it, Cap’n!
Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor not an electrochemist!
There’s not a lot in Steyning.

Someone should open a battery factory there.
adverts for “Steyning mature ladies.”
What colour?
“Someone should open a battery factory there.”
Well, there’s the old cement works down the road. Been shut for at least 40 years.
Might not be a bad idea. Can you get lithium from chalk?
Also to be noted that there are lots of ‘fake’ lithium batteries out there, very inferior too good ones,less capacity and short lived.
You all got fun adverts for ladies and things.
The adverts I got were for financial advice from the billionaires living in Rhyl…
