alicefred Posted October 8, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) can anyone recommend me a good non OEM M8 battery? I know everyone warns against cheap third party M8 batteries. I just found Empire Scientific that sells M8 battery and it looks like good alternative. The starting price is about $45.00 dollars and it also comes with one year warranty. Has anyone tried this battery? If so, then what's your experience? Is it better than the cheap Ebay batteries? Your inputs will be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted October 9, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 9, 2010 I did a search on the Li-Ion original and generic. Interesting info that I want to share with you Interest in purchasing original batteries that cost a little more expensive, right ? Please look at these links : http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-76505.html I see that there Jaapv responding ! Is this our same friend Jaapv that is on LUF? Is lithium-ion the ideal battery? "Aging is a concern with most lithium-ion batteries and many manufacturers remain silent about this issue. Some capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year, whether the battery is in use or not. The battery frequently fails after two or three years. It should be noted that other chemistries also have age-related degenerative effects. This is especially true for nickel-metal-hydride if exposed to high ambient temperatures. At the same time, lithium-ion packs are known to have served for five years in some applications." Regards Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
