You don't get what you pay for

The battery showed up with a manufacture date 13 months ago with 55% charge. The instructions clearly state that you shouldn't store it for extended periods of time under 80% charge or you could damage it.After cycling the battery a few time (per the instructions) It would only charge to 47Wh of the 56Wh design capacity. Which was disappointing for a battery that advertises 57Wh (only 83%).I performed a battery gauge reset, and that got the full charge capacity up to almost 49Wh. Still not 57, but 86% is better than 83%.Of the limited range, the battery does perform as expected, and it fit fine. This is why I was generous with the two stars.

Pros
  • 7.2 ounces
Cons
  • The battery may still drain quickly even after replacement
