They have probably used recycled worn out cells and just printed bigger numbers on the case. Bigger numbers = moar sells.
The real ones are certainly more believable. "Typically about 300mAh, maybe a bit more if it's new" is, to me, a lot more likely than "we've crammed much higher capacity cells in here for half the price"
I have bought my share of crappy no-name batteries and if they're half the price and you buy twice as many, you've gained nothing.

Interesting.
These are two of my genuine Sram batteries. Note that one is made by Celxpert in Taiwan and the other is made in China but I can’t tell who manufactured it. They both seem to give slightly different numbers.
What does it all mean?
I guess I’m just paranoid that the Alix ones could well have printed any numbers they like. But it’s interesting that one claims to be 600mAh?!
If an AliX one for £18 gives the same run time as the genuine ones then it’s a no brainer, but obviously not so much if they have half the run time of the real McCoy
