XTS3000 Who makes the best quality replacement battery?

[vk2vlt]

With so many replacement batteries on the market I really don't know which ones are filled with crappy cells or top quality cells!
So can I please ask which ones we should be buying?
Oh and I should ask that I would prefer a NIMH over NICad.

Why not a LiIon battery?

I've had good luck with Impact Power Products

GTS makes a good battery, much lighter also.

Try to buy a new OEM battery for the XTS3000 and let me know how that works out for you

Power Products has been a reliable brand for us on many different radio models.
They are at the big trade shows, have been around for a long time, and stand behind their products. They are not some fly-by-night Chinese/Amazon/E-bay seller. Actual human beings you can speak to.

Another vote for Power Products. They were the only ones that made the super short li-ion Saber batteries up until they recently discontinued them. They always fit great and well worth the money. All their other batteries work great too ( Jedi batteries, XTS, etc ).

I have also purchased from Power Products, never a problem.


Be safe

Oh yes indeed, I'll use lithium ion, no problem.
And with several votes here already for Impact Power Products, I'll go look at their batteries then.
Thanks for the replies thus far too!
Oh and if I could actually get OEM at a reasonable price, I would!

Does Impact Power Products have an online shop? I just had a look and i'd like to order a couple of their IPT8610-LiP batteries in a few weeks time when I can afford them. Oh and hopefully they ship to Australia. Otherwise I'll ask a buddy of mine in NY to send them to me.

Yep. Made me fall in love with the saber all over again

I’ve had good luck with Power Products, but the results can vary. I’ve used some batteries & sworn they were OEM rebadged batteries. I’ve used others from the same brand, but for a different line of radio, & been disappointed. The quality can vary in the same brand of battery, but it all boils down to “where did they get their batteries from“?

Oh I agree with you on this!!!!! This is why I asked the question here in the first place.
I pulled apart my battery for my MTS2000 (Mi Batteries had repacked it over 20 years ago) to repack it with new Energizer NiMH rechargeables, only to find that the old cells Mi had used were a cheap brand of rechargeable cells.
