Without wishing to veer back to guns, it is interesting to get a different perspective.
No doubt I'll sleuth the Youtuber tomorrow see what shade I can find on him
That's the guy, And he said that he does not have any ownership of the Australian company. And he started his own LLC and he only distributes the batteries. I could be wrong I don't know.The dcs us owner Carl jonsson is listed as staff for dcs au so I'm inclined to believe hes full of shit and talking bollocks to you Will

Edit: All he said is that he distributes them from the Chinese supplier. The Australia business is separate. How could it not be. I don't think he even lives in Australia lol
I'm not trying to defend him either. I just don't see how somebody would be shipping batteries to Australia and then to America under the same business. When they can just go to China. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

The only high rises around my way are grain silos and the farmers have plenty of kids to man them.
Just take it one day at a time.

I'm guessing US batteries come direct from China, makes no sense at all to route through Australia.

Well said. Its nice to see others that get it...
I live "out in the country" I have loaded guns all over my house strategically placed based on caliber / type / location.
They haven't went crazy and shot anyone yet and the pistol within arms reach of my pillow hasn't shot me either.
My friends and I enjoy shooting anywhere from 5 yds to hundreds of yards and have no fears one will shoot the other while someone is ripping the 4 wheeler football fields away to reset the targets.
Now if we were only shooting paintball or airsoft guns I wouldn't trust any of them

Plenty of crooked and questionable stuff going on in Australia in plain view, some of it is amusing and quite clever.
I once rented a small factory space in a whole line of other similar factories, and it was absolutely fascinating spying on what some of the others were actually doing in those places.
Right next door there were lines of people seated at long benches that were unpacking vast numbers of chrome plumbing fittings, taps, shower heads, that type of thing. These obviously came from China. What they were doing was repacking them into expensive looking packaging that boldly said "made in Australia". I asked my neighbor one day, if that was legal.
He just laughed and said its true the cardboard boxes are actually made and printed here in Australia.
In another factory there were people that looked like a single three generation Vietnamese family
What they were doing was opening up multiple large sacks of different types of seeds.These they mixed and spread with rakes over the entire floor area. This was then repacked in plastic bags as bird seed.
What a brilliant business plan! Have to hand it to them.
In another factory there were a couple of evil looking guys selling car parts that had the very strong smell of stolen property about it.
It would not surprise me in the least if Australians were "building" fake Lithium batteries in garages and factories around the suburbs.

For your protection obviously we are talking about a hypothetical scenario and not proven for DCS. ...

I am at an age now, where it takes rather a lot to surprise me.
I did read somewhere that guns were confiscated from citizens in Australia.
could be just a drop shipping outfit like so many others, one company has several outlets across the world and all product for online orders are drop shipped from the manufacture, or from central where houses. so maybe they have one distribution place in Australia and one in north America that they ship out of. he could be running the US division as an independent company but be and employ of the parent company in AUS.
The American company has their own inventory.
I've also been asking people about warranty claims on these batteries and everyone in America seems to not have many issues at all. They seem like a reliable battery. But again I'm not trusting anybody until I get one of these batteries on my desk.

No never confiscated, except by the police it you are caught committing a violent crime and using or carrying a gun at the time.
That probably happens in the US as well ?
What happened is over a number of years various public groups and politicians (on both sides) agreed that fewer guns in the community would be a good idea for public safety. After a great deal of discussion various new gun laws were introduced, and the public were encouraged to hand in any weapons they no longer wanted, or would become illegal under the new laws. There was generally a huge positive public response to the gun amnesty. It was never forced on us. And if you wanted to keep your guns you could.
The majority of Australians (but not all !) were happy with that, and the chances of that ever changing back not very likely.
Americans simply refused to believe that we could possibly do something like that voluntarily.
So the myth of all our guns being confiscated by force still persists. Or that we are all complete fools over here.
We still get the occasional shootings, outlaw bikers, drug turf wars, that type of thing, but they are only shooting at each other.
Also family related murders and suicides that you will get anyway.
But generally there are vastly less gun deaths here than in the US. Its definitely a lot safer here, and we prefer it that way.
We still have gun clubs and people own personal weapons, but there are some rules that go with that.
Sorry I was tired and cranky last night, what your describing is weird but then the whole thing is the owner had a company that was the sole distributor for dcs in north America called Tiktaalik now that company just sells cooking knives. I can't find any records for a dcs global or any mention of them in china, I kinda want to dig further but I said to @Ron-ski that I'd try look at the other side of the picture today and I want to see if the Youtuber is some super martial arts guy who worked as a bodyguard to Chuck Norris.

I have heard several times, that many very famous and successful martial artists get very tired of being challenged by drunken idiots in public.
If they flatten some dumb beer belly punk (which they could very easily do) it would be all over the newspapers.
So they hire "bodyguards" to get between them and the idiot to break it up, more to save the idiot !
So believe it or not, guys like Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee just wish to go out in public and avoid trouble and hire people to solve any problems.

Thanks for the insight.
That's not remotely true. There was a massive buyback in 1996 which was a confiscation in everything but name. You could keep certain guns if you were eligible for a licence for that category of gun and you jumped through the hoops to get the licence. But a lot of guns (all semi auto long guns, pump shot guns), almost no one is eligible for a licence for and the choice was either turn them in for the cash, or become a criminal.
The fact that they were willing to pay doesn't make it any less of a confiscation to me. There was no choice in the matter.
The prime minister openly declared at the time that he hated guns and didn't think anyone should have them. And he was happy to piss away half a billion of taxpayers' $AUD to fund the buyback. Gun laws are the states' responsibility in Australia, and the federal government has no direct power to change them, but collecting taxes is the federal government's responsibility, so he essentially strong armed the states into signing a national firearms agreement, by threatening them with loss of federal tax money. And they all caved.
