My point is that the only reason alotofthings.com got these high
rating is because the purchaser isn't allowed to change their rating.
I would of changed my rating to zero stars if I am allowed to. I
purchased their stuff and didn't use it for a few months. That was my
problem.

You need to know that answering him is a waste of time.  He is a allowance penny pinching high school kid who buys aftermarket anything and thinks it is the best.

I believe you.

Oh Yeah

You get what you pay for but sometimes you do not even get that.

Yeah, so what. I'll only be using a camera that uses this specific
battery for only 2 to 3 years. This is my 3rd year. Then my plans are to
buy another brand camera which uses a different battery type. If eBay
cheapies last but a year then my battery costs are under $20 for that
period. If I bought an OEM battery my cost might be $70 (in Canada) for
a battery that might last longer than the camera. Money wasted! If you
plan to keep your camera until either it or you becomes obsolete, then
that is your own business. I've bought 2 cheapie batteries so far and
am 100 percent satisfied with the battery life (for the price) and the
efficient dealer that shipped my batteries faster than I could say
"Measekite is trolling again". ;-)

But thank you Measekite for giving me the opportunity to say some nice
things about eBay batteries. Thank God for dealers that help me save
money by not forcing me to buy "Lexus" versions of batteries that I
really don't need. If they last a year for $5.... fantastic!!!!

WTF! A Yugo... get with the 21st century... you use an example of a car that

they were actually better than most high priced piece of crap, name brand
cars today... and yugos were throwaway cars... go figure.... measekite,
your observations of anything 3rd party or low cost is purely crap. I bought
a video camera in 2000 and bought a 3rd party battery for it... I got 7
years from that battery... better than the OEM crap that came with it...
You are not one to spout off about 3rd party anything when you said
yourself, you have never used them.

Penny pinching? The difference between a $5 battery and a $70 one is
not measured in pennies but in DOZENS of dollars - 5 dozen Dollars, to
be exact (6,500 pennies).

I saved $60 dollars - that's justification enough. For that amount I can
buy a new $5 battery every year for the next 12 years regardless of the
camera type I buy.

Changing the subject because you're losing is not an acceptable
argument.

The only Chinese product that has ever blown up for me was a
firecracker. But it was my own fault, I put a match to it. ;-)

OEM batteries have been catching fire too according to news stories.
So why buy a $70 battery that may catch fire when I can get a $5 battery
to do the very same thing!

a half years ago. I don't remember what I paid any more now, but it
wasn't anywhere near what I would have had to pay for Eveready,
Duracell, or another "name brand." According to the label, they were
made in China. I'm not sure when the vendor does his flying - it could
be at night for all I care. I've used the batteries in walkie-talkies,
digital cameras, and a cordless mouse. Haven't lost one yet, and they
all seem to last as long on a charge now as when they were new, longer
than some of the big names I've tried. I charge them either using the
charger for the device, or in a Panasonic charger I bought at a garage
sale. No fires, no explosions, no leaking, no trouble. If I ever need
more, I'd buy more of these in a heartbeat.

Taliesyn,

I knew you were going to fall for it. You just proved that you are
nothing but a liar. Everybody knows that the non-oem, generic, china
made after market camera battery suck. Check Consumer's Report for a
profession review. Better yet, check amazon.com for more realistic
customer's reviews. On amazon.com you know these customer's reviews
are more accurate since these can be written anytime.

Here's a perfect example....

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pr_product_top

Going back to the original subject of after market ink.....The only
reason why you think that after market ink is such high quality is
probably because the only thing you print are those black and white
high school term papers. Also, it's okay for you to purchase the
after market camera batteries. I figure that if you purchased an
after market battery, you will have to sacrifice your lunch money for
only 2 days. Now if you purchased the OEM camera battery, then you
would have to sacrifice your lunch money for 1 month.

Be careful when you respond to my post. Somebody like me, could be
setting you up. Just like I did to make you look stupid.

Haha

TJ,

Ultralast is a brand name company. They're not as big as Eveready or
Duracell, but they are brand name. Ultralast is part of North
American Battery Company and they're stuff actually come out under
different brands like Again and Again and Nitro Power. They do make
good stuff though. They are sold at Fry's, Radio Shack, Best Buys and
other big company. So you haven't tried the nonbrand, generic, china
made, aftermarket cheap stuff that I am talking about.

Here's their homepage....

Burt,

Alotofthings.com has spam filters. In other words, I would have to
believe that the 320,000 emails are disgruntled customers.

Even though if you are right, and it was a dirty trick, you got to ask
why would a hacker be so upset at a company that they would send them
320,000 emails. Maybe it because their ink sucks! Maybe it's
because their customer service suck! Maybe it's because their whole
company sucks!

produce a battery and put another company's name on it. So, it's
entirely possible to buy a battery with a name you never heard of that's
actually a quality product. Or would you accuse NAB of making an
inferior product for its private label market?

Another battery name I've used is Lenmar, which is based in California.
They're also sold at Fry's and other retailers you might find
acceptable. Their batteries are of good quality, too - though they also
are made in China. As a matter of fact, I can conceive of a scenario
where a single Chinese battery maker contracts with both NAB and Lenmar
to produce batteries and put each company's label on them. The batteries
themselves are identical - only the outside is different. And I can
conceive that in just such a scenario, if NAB or Lenmar found another
Asian battery maker that would give them a better deal, that they would
switch to the new supplier without alerting their customers about the
change.

So you really don't know what you're getting with them either, do you?
Kinda like buying aftermarket ink.

I told you before, I'll tell you again. I DO NOT NEED an OEM battery
that costs $70 (in Canada) that might last 10 years. With the price of
high end digital cameras costing about a 1/3 what they did 5 years ago,
I change models every 2 or 3 years, and all the different models use a
different type of battery. I have no wish to be stuck with a $70 lemon
battery I can no longer use when a $5 one will last the 1 or 2 years
that I really only need. Go ahead, buy the expensive ones that last
your lifetime, that's your business, I'm not stopping you. But DO NOT
tell me how to run my cameras or that I should DONATE my hard earned
money to OEMs to make them richer. It's not going to happen.
