This company is a scam. Do not buy their spicy pillows.
Take literally 1 minute to look into them. All of the previous sales on this website say “half of them arrived broken” or “started inflating after a week.” If you search them online all you’ll find are ChatGPT-written reviews saying “withstood 1 million hammer blows, truly the pinnacle of human evolution.” Their own website is just a pile of ad copy with “50% off, today only!” plastered over it.
@user67861744 I bought the spicy pillows in a previous sale and got my money back. I’m thinking what happened is the company went belly up and the battery cells got to low sitting in a warehouse before Meh got them.
The website is likely a parasite company that bought the domain after the original company went out of business.
@ryanbruce It totally could be some relatively innocent mix-up like that, but batteries are the second most dangerous things we handle day to day (behind motor vehicles) and making them really thin requires a lot of careful engineering and safety measures, AKA added cost, so anything purporting to have unusually thin batteries for the same price (or even a lower-than-usual price) should be viewed with suspicion.
@user67861744 They’re just a 2500mAh LiPo like you’d see in a cellphone. Charging circuitry is also pretty simple these days, given how many purpose-built ICs there are.
These are so cheap because the original company is defunct. These are so volatile because they went below safety levels for a LiPo battery.
