901 Battery Experts Please

[FL0OD]

I would like to know the difference between these to batteries.

The first is a replacement battery sold as a 901 replacement.

The second is a battery that came with my kit that I bought.

Do these numbers mean anything? Are these batteries of like quality? Why are they stamped differently? That you for your time in advance.

Someone here stated that the "slb" is basically a trademark for one of the original manufacturers (can't recall which). The other is probably a knockoff - which does not necessarily mean it's poor quality.

SLB = Sailebao

For me,it doesn't matter what is ,or isn't stamped on them They all suck!

I've never had a 901 battery that lasted more than a month.
The 901 atty's last forever for me though,so I just started building my own battery box mods with 3 AA nimh batteries,and a few copper pipe mods that use 18650 batteries.
Both setups have a 2500 Mah rating and last at least four days per charge ,and can be recharged around 1000 times before dying for good.

good luck!

SLB = Sailebao (DSE901)
N = First Union (RN4075)

First is a RN4075, Totally Wicked is only place I know of that carries them off hand..
Second is a True dse901 original trademark.Think a majority of places are carrying these now.

thanks for the input. now my second question would be, wouldnt you think if a supplier was selling 901 batteries that they should advertise whether they are selling original 901 batteries or the RN models? To me that is partially misleading because from my testing of the RN batteries they are not as good as the originals. They are lighter weight and do not produce the battery life or the heat of the "true" 901 batteries. thought I would ask the pros.
