Chinese seller and half the price of lowest price available from UK retailers.

These batteries can either work or not. I have had a number of these batteries on cheap tools that have not taken a charge or only lasted a short time in use. But conversely, I have had some that have done really well lasting hours in use. The only Bosch bit comparison is the locating lugs on the battery shell. You take your chance.

Are these likely to genuine or counterfeit:

They are genuine batteries, but not genuine Bosch batteries. It's the same with anything on ebay, you have to choose to waste your money or not.

Doesn't matter what is being sold, it is always up to the buyer if you buy something or not, I buy a lot of stuff from ebay, last thing I got was a movement sensor that uses the zigbee protocol, for just under £10 I thought I was doing well, but I wouldn't buy (for example) a battery operated drill. For that I go to screwfix, because I know if there are any problems, screwfix will fix/sort/refund me. I am pleased to say, never had to try/ask.

the clue is "for bosch" they are just lookie likies
somtimes they even say "genuine for bosch/dewalt/ryobi makita" both statements are true as in they are meant to fit bosch and they are genuine for bosch
just look at the words and the lack off manufacturer mentioned on the actual battery

I wouldn't risk it. Genuine batteries have built in electronics to prevent overheating and fires. Cheap knock off batteries are unlikely to have any protection.
