Dead Batteries can be annoying but I just cant justify spending $400+ for one of the lithium batteries. Arent they pro rated anyway? It’s not like it will be a free replacement in 9 years if they are pro rated. Let us know what you end up with.

The new AA battery is now $800, was $400 that I paid, it is a full 10 year warranty not prorated.
But at $800 now, I wouldn't pay that, glad I got mine when I did.

Ya the AA or the DCR would be nice but way to much money for a dam battery. Dam What a huge jump in price......400$ and jumps to 800$ 🙄

The only way I could ever justify $800 or even $400 would be if I was racing and was looking to cut every possible ounce out. I mean $800?? I can buy a new battery every three years for 15 years for that kind of cash.

That’s reduculous. A stock battery should last 4-6 years. Why pay that unless you just like spending that?

Never seen this video but basically what I have been saying. If you need a replacement battery just go to Walmart
