And all that being said, Ask how many people have had issues with SMC batteries, and how did SMC treat them when they did? Answers is gonna be very few and very well. I've only bought a few batteries and had no issues, but going back thru posts where someone did have a concern, I get the impression they were handle real well.
There is a newer company out selling shorty packs with higher mah rating for the same money and an extended warranty. I will be getting my extreme pack from SMC thank you cause they kick butt and dont give me grief.
