Haven't been too impressed with the 2300s personally. Even in a simple led lightbox it seemed to run out of power quicker than I'd expect. Trying the 2800s soon.

Thanks for the heads up. Will stay away from this brand as I've seen quite a bit about them draining quickly now.

I wouldn't bother trying their 2800mA version. The issue is likely the relatively high internal resistance they have when new that only gets worse with use/time.

I've used EBLs before and didn't have issues. Maybe someone got a bad batch.

I bought their batteries before. They don't hold as well as those from Japanese brand. 2 out of 8 were dead in few months

These batteries are pain. I have spent more time charging them than using them. They self discharge v fast. They can start charging again with no use even after 30 min of full charge. I did get replacement using customer service but exact same issue. They wanted me to refund 50% of paid amount to change review on Amazon. Declined the offer and returned to Amazon.

I haven't had an issue with these. The main issue with most rechargeable is due to people get garbage chargers expecting them to work wonders for batteries

I've been using these for maybe close to year. Maybe I have enough in rotation that I don't notice the degradation as much as others but between my son and I playing video games and remotes and other low draw applications, they seem fine. Couple of weeks on the Xbox controller with daily use.
