Title: 9V DVD batteries life expectancy
Post by: ts on July 22, 2012, 09:31:30 AM

I have 2 9V 6000mah DVD batts from Walmart or Radio Shack. They are at least from 2006 as I have an SKB backstage pass from '06 on one of them. They are probably older than that. Planning on using them again and wondering if it's worth the risk. They take a charge. What's a good replacement for these?

You could have Kirkd refurb them!  Then I think they are around 10,000 mah

Best bang for the buck is to have me replace the cells.  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=153993.0  You'll end up in the neighborhood of 10,000 mAh and be spending less than they get for a new one with half the capacity
