The likely reason for the downvotes is the questionable capacity rating. And, if they're lying about the capacity, then you can also take the number of recharges with a grain of salt (they are also notably higher than other high mah batteries). Also, discharge seems to be poor (vs the advertised low self-discharge) and overall reliability poor (oddly, even 4 star reviews note that a relatively high percentage failed after a very short period).

It's summed up in this January 2023 review that includes pictures of the charger readings:

As others have reported, these batteries are sold as 2800 mAh batteries, when in reality they deliver 2100~2200 mAh. That's 25% less than advertised. I tested a dozen of them and they are all consistently low, even with low (0.1C) current drain and after several "conditioning" cycles to try and maximize their performance. Back to Amazon they go.
