These Batteries

Has anyone had experience with these batteries? They look to be good, but I am not sure. If they are as good as they are in the pictures, I might get one.

Thanks.

I've had a two of them for the last five months. One is excellent, and still holds its charge well, but the bottom plate has fallen off the other, and the adhesive inside the pack has failed such that the cells rattle around inside, causing an intermittent connection. They're physically very heavy compared to Multiplier batteries, or the genuine article.

I'd stick with genuine Motorola or Multiplier.

Been my experience with them, the cells are great, the build quality of them sucks. Motorola OEM packs always fit the best and are built better than most of the low cost aftermarket batteries. For casual "ham" users the cheapie 30 dollar batteries are fine, but I would never place one into mission critical public safety use. You get what you pay for.

It's funny, but when I bought two multiplier 1100mAhs last year for my sabers, they actually fit better than the two /\/\ batteries I had.

I'll use either, but I think I'll spend the $$$ next to get some Impres batteries.

I have had the same experience with some batteries for HT600s

I have the same batteryzone here, but it is an older cell, so I need to buy a new one soon.
