Can anyone tell me if Mother M still make a Li-Ion battery for the Saber line. I really don't want to buy aftermarket but will if need be.

TIA

I've been buying and using a Li-Ion battery from Cut Rate Batteries with great success. It's 1900 mAh and about two inches high, and looks exactly like the Motorola 8118 battery. Cost is about $72 plus shipping. I have four of them spread among my Sabers and Astro Sabers and it's a great comfort to know that when you pick up the radio even after having it sit there for several weeks that its battery will work okay.
