Big! thank you very much

There was a slight delay (two days), but there was a delay at Mexican customs. Batteries are fine, no problem. Excellent! Thank you very much.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some shortcomings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits and works - unlike others I've tried.

Perfect size. Unlike another battery I tried which was only recessed about a millimeter in the contacts and would not work without modification.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Transparency

Only 1 of 4 batteries worked - held a charge

I was pleased with the extra amp hours but disappointed that 3 of 4 batteries ordered arrived without a charge and would not accept a charge. I'm sending them back!

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Batteries can be completely discharged.

I suspect these guys don't check before shipping. I ordered 2 batteries and one was completely empty and the other fully charged. The last time I ordered from here I learned the hard way!

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • A few little things

Mine works surprisingly well

I needed a battery for an old Stormtracker weather radio. Although the battery specs didn't include my radio, the physical dimensions and voltage were consistent; so I dared. The battery came charged, kept up well on the radio and has held a charge for 7 weeks. Very satisfied.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Doesn't work with Unided GMR648-2CK

The title says it all. I have a Unidel GMR648-2CK walkie-talkie with a bad battery (not holding a charge). I bought it to replace a burned one but it doesn't charge at all. I've tried this on both radios to make sure there isn't a problem with the radio itself and got the same result on a known working radio.

Pros
  • Happy
Cons
  • Will write later

At first it didn't work but I fixed it

the battery didn't work when I wuast but then I noticed that the black plastic coating covered part of a contact enough, so that the spring contact in the walkie-talkie could not touch the metal contact. I trimmed the plastic a bit clean and now it works great. This may be why others have reported their batteries failing. Hope that helps. gin

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
