Title: Recommendation for Replacement Battery for G700s
Post by: SpAmRaY on Thu, 25 May 2017, 09:05:02

My original eneloop in my G700s barely stays charged and I'm looking to replace it.

Anyone have any experience with a rechargeable battery that might work better?

Eneloop are a quality battery that was meant for long term storage, while not comparable to an alkaline, they retain charge faaaar better than other rechargables. they also get EXPENSIVE when you want higher capacity.

The ones you probably want to look for is POWEREX, I was using 2700mah in my G700 and G700S mice and they would get me through pretty much the most intense long day of use on a single charge (even with near max'd out settings), and they are a lot cheaper. They may look, sound and be priced like a cheap battery, but they are actually rated about as good as the Eneloop.
