7xx Series Style Batteries
« on: November 11, 2008, 03:31:27 PM »
Where's the best place to buy these?  Ebay?  Need to grab two more, just not sure what brand is best which place sells them the cheapest.  I got one on ebay a while back and it turned out to be a dud.  Are there brands I should stay away from or are they all basically the same with different packaging?

My theory is that if a company is going to sell ripoff fakes, they will stamp them sony.   So I'd lean toward buying non-sony batteries from a known 3rd party brand.  But I haven't bought any in years so no recs.

I have a few of these 6900 mAh batteries.   No problems whatsoever.    For the price they're damn easy to replace if they'd ever need it.

I have been getting mine from 1800-emart.com they have the problem on the case coming apart like most generics but a bead of CA/Suprt glue fixes the problem

Here is the largest capacity you can get and they come with a 3yr warranty.

these are the only ones I use. You dont have to worry about the pins coming out with these batteries either.

I bought a couple of these once...
The batteries charge/discharge fine, but I found that they don't seat all the way in my 702 recorder.  Maybe it was just my unit?  When you slide the battery into place, the locking tab did not have enough clearance to pop up.  So you could slide the battery out without pushing down the locking tab...
not good.

martin, does that one lock on well? If ordered the 6900 battery from the cheapest of the Amazon links and received a 5400 battery. They said that is as big as they can get. It locks on pretty solid.

I do not have one of those specifically, but Cfox uses them and has no issues at all. I didn't learn about these until after I bought a few from B&H. I use the Impacts (NP-F975) from B&H still. When they bite the dust I plan to replace them with these Lenmars though.
