Re: Aftermarket Batteries
you get what you pay for.
I buy nothing but Mot batteries simply because they are stronger and last longer.
You can new on fleabay for about half list.

Re: Aftermarket Batteries
Agree with all the replies on this one. OEM or Multiplier are the only one's out there with consistent performance. Anything else is a toss of the dice.
Re: Aftermarket Batteries
We sell both Empire Scientific and Honeywell aftermarket, we have not had a single return to over two years. At half the cost of OEM, I would suggest taking a look at them.
(note to other board members: These HT600 / P200 are likely not in "mission critical" service, and even at the reduced cost of these aftermarket batteries will cost more then the radio itself).

Re: Aftermarket Batteries
We have been replacing out HT1250 OEM batteries with Interstate Battery 2500ma/hr batteries for about $30.00 each. No complaints and run for almost 48 hours with minimal TX.

OEM or Multiplier is the only way for me. Be happy and get new on eBay.
W-W batteries are just a paperweight (junk).

I've used Nuon on one of my P1225 loaner fleets. They were OK - fit well, and held a good charge, plus they seemed of decent construction.

Whatch the video and decide for yourself
Notice the pro series in the vibration test.
Starts of with a channel knob. Looses it and then reappears with it.
