larger battery for Leaf back??

Hi, all,

Based on Sergei's comments, as promised, I took some notes over the past week and can report back on the Maximal Power batteries vs Leaf OEM.

Using the Leaf batteries at 2350mAh as a reference, the Maximals are delivering only 1745mAh of energy, ~25% lower than the OEM batteries, and ~30% below their advertised capacity of 2500mAh.

I tried the testing a couple of times, once with a full 24h charge followed by immediate testing, and once with a full charge then letting the battery sit for a week to test the charge leak question. There was no significant difference in performance.

So they're not nearly as powerful as advertised, but they don't appear to leak, and cost $11 vs the OEM's $90.

My guess is there are probably better SL-160-compatible batteries out there to be had, still at reasonable prices, but unfortunately I don't know which ones they might be.

If I find 'em, I'll keep you posted,
