Can you please define “knock-offs”? LG e.g. doesn’t make scu a flashlights but batteries. Do you consider an LG battery in dive light by company XYZ a knockoff?
No, there's lots of counterfeits out there, especially if you're buying on ebay from an unknown seller or amazon "marketplace". Dedicated battery places tend to be a bit more picky about their suppliers so there's less chance of buying a fake there, but they are usually not the cheapest.
PS. we're talking about people who sold powdered blackboard chalk as baby formula, selling you a leaking bomb with "LG" hand-painted on the side is par for the course.
