Default Real or fake?

OK get your mind back on RC.
I went looking on the internet for small A123 batteries and found these.
Are they real?

OK Thanks
I know these have been out of production for awhile. I guess they are back.

Actually if you read the print in the above posted link it states "Based on the same Nanophosphate LiFePO4 technology as A123 Systems’ " so it is not a real A123. I go to http://wrongwayshopping.com/for real A123 batteries.

Wrongway RC does not have 18650 size cells. Only the larger size.
If you read the above link the batteries shown in the link have the same specs as A123 cells so if they perform whats the difference?
