    Cheap Ebay batteries are a deal, but don't expect them to last as long on run time or lifespan. Expect 3/4 of the expected run time, and a year to year and a half before you need to replace it again. For the amount of money though, it's not a bad deal.

    Yea, the cheap batteries usually use cheap made Chinese battery cells. They wear, and fail prematurely. With batteries it's always "you get what you paid for".
