hi... just wondering if anybody has any insight into which brands of aftermarket batteries work alright and which or which ones to stay away from. i am looking to buy batteries for the HT600/ P200. also where to buy any brands suggested would be great.

thanks

i use the high capacity multiplier batteries and have never had any problems with them.

I vote Multiplier as well and if you want order a few make up a business name and order from tessco

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.

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.

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).

alot of dept on low band still have alot in service

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.
