Dear Dave:

Your point is valid and I do not argue it. The battery on the 6 inch was and is a breeze to find online. I CANNOT begin to fathom why the factory went with a special battery. Yes, you can only buy it from us at present. BUT... we are not exactly gouging you on the price. We are fair as a battery source.

We are STILL trying to get the factory to tell us where you can find that battery online. We make no money on the spare battery at all... so IF we can find an online source all would be happier.

One thing I do know, Dave, is that a China factory is not exactly always logical to us non-national Chinese. They do tend to be a bit "different" in tehir ways. They build a heck of a good device... but the idosyncrosies confuse me.

Still working on this.
