not fakes..
just that Chinese Amps are smaller than the western ones.

I've just completed a similar project,
I bought a bag of 1 Ohm 1 watt resistors with which one can easily make any load.
I used 5 in series, but be aware they get warm and the resistance will increase.
so I used the INA 219 current sensor module to measure the current in real time.

I did find a new 4500 mAh cell that was more like 450

(Chinese people are very nice, and I buy lots of stuff from them, including food)
