[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had 2 Hong Kong batteries. They both died the same week, recently. I could just about convince myself it coincided with starting to use the new smaller charger-on-a-lead, rather than the original M8 plug-directly charger. But I couldn't be completely sure. They had lasted about 2 1/2 years, but have not been as heavily used as the standard batteries, which are still fine.
