My recommendations


This thing has proven itself as being reliable. It’s powerfull enough for the baby beast, you can choose between 2 or 3 batteries and it’s pretty darn cheap.


A very good charger, you’ll love it. I recommend getting batteries locally from a good battery supplier, maybe state your region and other members can point you in the right direction.

and maybe this for on your keychain

Depending on how many batteries you get you may go a little over the 75, but i think it’s worth it and you will be very pleased with this setup. I would defenitly advice against an internal battery.

Definitely have to agree with @Duchesst about the Opus BT-C series. whether you get the 3100 or the 3400, both are Very reliable and safe units. If you opt for the 3100 though, just make sure you get a v2.2 (or newer, if available).

The benefits of external charging far outweigh having internal batteries, as you’re just putting a self-imposed lifespan on your investment by choosing internal.

As for the best place to buy reputable batteries, IMHO the first stop has to be Illumn.com (the first letter is a capital i) if you’re in the US or don’t mind shipping abroad.

Where do you buy your batteries from?.

I buy my batteries from these guys. Trusted company that doesn’t sell clones, all original batteries at good prices.

Lubrisolve sell hg2’s for I think £8 for a pair. I know quite a few people use their PG and VG.

Did anyone ever buy them from gearbest?.

32

I looked at gearbest and they are cheapest ÂŁ11.84 for 4 with free shipping for the Samsung ones
But you have to order just batteries on there own due to shipping regulations
Ok I supose if you don’t mind waiting 3 weeks

I’d be more concerned that they could be clones. Gearbest usually deliver to here in about 8 or 9 days, about the same time as it takes for something to get here from the uk lol

That was my concern so I emailed them and they assured me they are Genuine, but hey anyone could say that
