Here is how it works, Company "A' in China makes an order for 5,000 batteries from Battery Manufacturer "C" and states a price they will pay. While Company "B" in the US make an order from the same manufacturer for 2,000 batteries and states that the quality control must pass strict manufacturing specs.

So the Battery Manufacturing Company builds 7,000 batteries. All the batteries that don't pass the quality control specs of Company "B" get's sent to Company "A" at the much cheaper price.

You get what you pay for.
