    The battery in my M11x R2 is nearing the end of its life. What is the best battery available as a replacement? Are there any aftermarket batteries that are better than the OEM battery?

    There are some aftermarket batteries, but I cant say if they are better or worse as I have never used one.

    im in the same boat looking for a battery but the prices are up there 298 for a battery ive asked the sellers on ebay and they give it a 1 year warranty for 70.00 I think that's not bad at all and u could charge up to 1500 charges so I might take the leap the seller lives 30 min away I might just go pick it up
