Is the www.cases.com 2200 generic battery (Hi-Battery) ok?
I just ordered the $37 generic 2200 battery (I think manufactured by Hi-Battery) from www.cases.com with the aximsite 15% discount.

This isn't the Mugen, but the generic one. I figured it would be fine since it is www.cases.com, but would like some comments.

Thanks!

i'm considering getting this battery also. I email them regarding this battery versus and i was told they are exactly the same thing. The only difference is the brand name, as i was told that is.

I got the battery last week and it is working very well so far. I have been able to surf the web through my bluetooth phone, watch a movie, etc and still have plenty of juice left. So far, so good.

I did a bit of research before purchasing the Mugen over the $10 cheaper one. Both are made in Asia, except the Mugen uses Japanese Li-Ion cells.

Physically they are the same.
Internally however is where the lines get drawn.

The cheaper one uses a standard Li-Ion innerds (per se).
The best Li-Ion is coming from Japan, which holds the charge for longer periods of time with less discharge in use/storage.

So when I read that, and received a phone call from Cases.com, I decided on the Mugen. For the one reason more important. Which Li-Ion holds the charge longer.

Was tempted to go with the cheaper one. However Mugen has been producing batteries for a lot longer then HI-Battery, and they have a reputation as well.

So, bottom line is, if you prefer generic over name-brand.
When it comes to meds, I KNOW that some name-brands are way better then generics. Longevity won over generic.
