That battery does not say Li-Ion Polymer like the Uniden batteries.

So yours didn't work for you?

You can get an authentic uniden SDS100 battery and charger on Amazon for $74. The battery by itself is $65. So for an additional $15-$25 you will get authentic rather than a no name. Just search sds100 accessories on amazon.

I guess actually reading the first post before chiming in is optional, huh?

I'm done. I should have known better.

I'll try this again.

They were on sale on Amazon for $45, it's charging right now. We'll see how it does.

I'm currently using my original (2018) battery, it never swelled but run time is down to a little over 4 hours now.

I saw that battery on Amazon recently, but I can no longer find it.

it is time.
mine was plugged 24/7 and was charging (green light) everyday.
the last one, a uniden one, popped one week after i took it out.
it is now 3 inches tall.

It sold out. I believe only 20 were available yesterday.

I will keep looking for it. Probably the same battery from the same Chinese factory. Like a lot of other things. Maybe not. Could be better. Japanese cells assembled in Taiwan? I'm sure you will let us know how it goes.

Thanks! Now I can keep checking for it.

The metal part with electrical tape around it are just a pressfit into the plastic shell. Lift up the end opposit side to the connectors to take a peek at what markings the cells have, if it indeed are Japanese cells. That would then probably be a much better buy than the low quality Chinese ones that Uniden uses.

it says it under 'REPLACEMENT'

Where under “REPLACEMENT” does it say polymer? All I see is li-ion. While we are on the subject… Uniden’s battery is labeled li-ion polymer but I believe that is wrong. There are li-ion batteries and li-polymer batteries, not li-ion-polymer batteries. Uniden uses a li-polymer single cell battery, as stated in RR WiKi. So, I’m confused, is it a miss-labeling if the Uniden offering or is there such a thing is a li-ion-polymer battery? The WiKi articles go further, explaining the differing characteristics, a li-ion compared to a li-polymer.
