I'm looking for an honest source for JEDI batteries.
Some of these E-bay sellers are beyond the pale, but some must be good guys. I just don't know which.
I can't remember how to read the Date Code on Motorola batteries.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks
Geo

The first number is the year. The second two digits are the week of that year. The letters after the first three digits are the plant (don't worry about them).
I can supply you with the batteries you are looking for. Send me a PM or email, or give me call.
Thanks,
Jeff

For the Jedi, insist on Motorola or Multiplier batteries only. We have been elsewere and done the off-brand batteries and it was NOT worth it.

Thanks, guys, for the replies. Yes, I think that both Motorola and Multiplier are well worth buying. I found some off brand battery in one of the Jedis which was apparently bought from a Batteries Plus store.
It does seem penny-wise, but pound-foolish to look for the cheapest generic batteries.

I have dealt with many "other" brand batteries for the jedi series and none of them have compared to original ma "M" batteries IMHO.
