I have the ncr18650pd and love it. Only battery out of the other 3 I have that I use in my nemesis. Seen a great deal for these on fasttech. Anyone know if there authentic?

Just a word of advice do NOT buy batteries from fasttech right now. There is all kinds of problems with shipping batteries from them for the couple of months. TO be fair it is not just Fasttech. It is most places that go through Hong Kong or Singapore post.
Order your batteries stateside.
+1 costs much more but you will actually get them in the same month you ordered them lol
side notes:
The FT panny are in fact real
orbtronics and RTD now have the PF
It is not very good idea to order lithium batteries from Fasttech.

Recently, there is an increasing number of air mail items detected to contain suspected dangerous articles, particularly lithium batteries. Hongkong Post (HKP) reiterated that the sending of air mail items (including Speedpost) that contain dangerous articles is prohibited. The air mail items containing dangerous articles would be rejected. Moreover, the senders will not be entitled to any postage refund and may be liable to prosecution.

I have a set from FT actually. I was surprised they got through, but I took a gamble knowing what HK customs have been doing.
I got the PFs though, different chemistry, "safer" chemistry at that.
These things blow my aw 2k mah batt out the water. While the 1.6k mah aw has a 15amp limit, and though tests still need to be done to figure out the burst limit for subohmers (im guessing 18amp burst) the mah rating of 2900 makes up for it's one weakness. Im fine with my .8 ohm going half the day strong. Good thing it came in a two pack....
They hold voltage under load better then the similar aw's (aka bigger amp rating), they have a bigger mah rating, and are actually smaller in diametwr then the aw 2k mah (my aw does not fit in the zmax 1.1 version)
Also ordered the sony 30 amps on impulse in the same order... its your gamble to order from FT, I got mine within 3 weeks, two wk min. Anyways, these PFs; they certainly arent fakes, and out preform most if not all batteries that have the same/similar amp/mah. Going two weeks strong atm.
I guess good luck if your ordering from FT lol
