Your first link says is has a 60V 18Ah battery.

I seriously doubt you can buy such a battery for 952 RMB.

The Taobao link you shared leads me to a 'not found' page.

One thing to watch out for on Taobao, even for legitimate sellers: a listing will often include a main item and several accessories, all as different variants of the same product. So a single listing might include variants for:

- a scooter with battery

- a spare battery

- a charger

- a wing mirror

If you are looking at the price, be sure you have selected the variant that matches the thing you want.'

Source: I lived in China for 9 years, and have placed hundreds of orders on Taobao (including replacement Li-ion batteries for two Vespa-style scooters).
