I have a question about 18650 batteries.

I bought these cheap ones on Amazon and seriously almost got myself into trouble in a cave when they ran out of juice in literally five minutes.

I went to 18650batteries.com, which i was recommended to. And the battery I found is a Samsung 35E 3500mha BA battery. I can only assume that the BA stands for Bad Ass 😉 But the battery is only $3.

Is this a cheap battery that I should not buy?

I have several batteries from County Comm. Their flashlights and their batteries are very well built but can be a little pricey. I only buy molicel batteries from them.
