I know about newpower99 and their ilk, but those batteries are off brand and very likely as old as the ones they are purchased to replace. The one video I saw of someone using one of theirs showed the same brand you see on ebay for 10 bucks. In their own videos they paper over this brand with a plain wrapper with their name on it. Else people would check ebay and find the same for quarter price.

It would be great if I really thought in a year or two I could buy a quality battery for a PW1 that had been manufactured after 2013, but there is little to no demand for such.
