Recently, I was searching for decently large number of rechargeable batteries on Ebay, and
all of the decent combined shipping deals I found averaged more than a retail site I have found.

https://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1963

This alternative allows you to get a greater bang for your buck. For ~$20 less than Ebay pricing
you can get the same number of rechargeable batteries to last you a good, long while.

Not only that, but the batteries are of the same, high quality caliber as the rest of the batteries you can find
on Ebay.

I have owned them for some time now, and I find them long lasting in everything I use them in- my cell phone, my PDA
lasted a lot longer than the standard cheap battery that the manufacturer packaged in to cut costs.

Some of you might want to cheap out even more than this low-priced battery, but let me tell you:

Don't!

These batteries, I can confirm, run at the correct amperage level for my general usage/needs:
I wanted to ensure that they never exceeded 4.2 volts, and never fell below 3.0 volts (used a hard cutoff). So
I used a programable ESC to do this. I was able to keep it running at 13 amps through some experimentation,
and so can you- or you can mold it to whatever suits your usage needs.

 

 

I do have some grievances though:

They heat up faster than some other batteries I own, which I know may eventually decrease their lifetime.

Right now, I am not worried though since the battery looks as if it will last me a god long time yet.

But if the battery overall lifetime is important to you, you may be better served looking for another.

So Overall:

Value: 9/10- Almost the best bang for your buck out there. Free shipping is icing on the Cake.

Usage: 9/10- Entirely programmable, can be adapted to your individual needs.

Power: 10/10- Outputs more power than you need.

Lifetime: 8/10- Temperature problem sort of irking, but a long lifetime nevertheless.

Overall: 9/10 (Not an average)
