This ^. We all like to save a buck where we can if it makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't. Brand recognition accounts for some increased cost. For the money shortcuts were likely taken. The cheap price can all be in labor.ddemair said:BatterySharks has a battery for $26.98. It's hard to imagine that it's as good as a $100 battery
My questions are— what about it makes it so cheap and how likely is it do die from other causes than depleted capacity?
Any battery can fail without warning. But I think the chances are good that a better made battery might give some/more warning of impending doom than a cheaper made battery.
Of all the things that can leave you stranded somewhere an actual dead* battery seems to be one of the easiest to prevent.
