Does anyone know of a place that sells Motorola batteries that are out of date for cheap? Online? I bought some HT1250 and HT1000 batteries last year that were out of date 03 and 04 for $15 each at a hamfest to try and they are working just as good as new ones. I should have bought all he had!

Here or ebay is probably your best bet, online.

You could probably try your local radio shops to see if they have any NOS old datecode batteries they want to get rid of cheap, too.

just remember you get what you pay for. i'd at least try a real motorola dealer that will give you a reciept so your warranty starts from the purchase date.

he won't be getting them for $15 apiece if he goes that route

And for $15, who cares about warranty?
