Once upon a time I purchased what I believe was a genuine "A118c" from estore009 on ebay and after having problems lately with the camera not closing files I took it apart thinking I would be replacing the caps and to my surprise I find a swolen 3.7v lithium battery jammed in there soldered onto either side of where the two 2.7v capacitors are supposed to be. This dashcam was purchased years ago (probably around 4-5) and I could be wrong but am fairly certain back then you had them as a trusted place to buy it from in your A118C page (https://dashcamtalk.com/b40-a118).
Funny enough it does work fine using the official Viofo and foxoffer "c" firmware.
I am about to put a couple of caps I have here in to see if this fixed the closing file problem but just wanted to post here so others know because I thought it was a bit dodgey and probably wont ever buy from them again.
Picture is the one on the left I purchased many years ago and the one on the right (blueskysea branded) that I opened to check if it also had battery the one on right was purchased more recently probably around one year ago from the same seller.
