Buy Authentic Replacement Batteries or Pay More - June 24, 2013The cost of an authentic replacement battery is often small compared to lost business or machine/equiptment down time due to premature failure. Low cost batteries often are made of a different chemistry than originals that both store less power and self-discharge on the shelf to be used while waiting to be used.
Did you know some batteries' chemistry allow them to be stored for over 10 years before use due to low internal resistance, while others may self-discharge within a year even if never used?
