Yes, but I don't understand how they went virtually overnight from working fine to full scale failure. They were completely tested and holding their own at 100%. I have it on my little test sheet. Did the package arrive ok? Was it wet? Dented? Anything?
I'm still making you my new cell priority, I just need them to arrive with me here.
It's quite a lot if you ship direct, which is why I proxy ship through someone else.
you never know with batteries!
this is why usually they are not guaranteed in ebay sales, etc., and only warranted for half a year with original manufacturers.
so, it is not your fault
btw, my smartbook's battery is still holding up thank god.
(even though i managed to discharge it twice
standby time isn't great with these is it
) but a friend of mine recently bought a smartbook from ebay, and its battery was fine for like 5 charge cycles then went down to 89%... dunno where it is now..
so the problem looks a little more wide spread. that smartbook is *supposed* to have a half a year old
(official smartbook
) batt in it
(was changed after original one died
).
my guess would be that the manufacturer was crazy to put different cells
(1800 vs 2000 vs 2200 mAh
) in the batteries.
if you put brand new 2200 mAh's
(not mixed 1800 and 2000 and 2200
) into them they should last just fine.
btw, it was 15$ to ship four 2400 mAh's from batteryspace to hungary, last year

How about organising another group order (like your 2000 Mah one), but for the 2600Mah? I'm sure there would be a few takers (me included).
yes i would be a taker as long as my cc through paypal is accepted.
