I can't speak to the PCC from Eastmall but I took advantage of many of their deals on attys and batteries for the 801 penstyle and NONE of the batteries are holding a charge. I don't know if it is the charger itself. So far, the attys are holding but aren't getting that much use because of the battery issue. But I do use them on a passthrough occasionally and so far so good.
I ordered and received 5 sets of the navy blue manuals, two burgundy batterys and attys which were sold separately (also manual) and two pink of each (automatics) plus a few other items including the charger.
Although this was one of my larger orders I don't believe it is worth the hassle with a Chinese (or any foreign) supplier due to sending back and forth through customs plus signing for delivery both ways so I'll just chalk it up to experience.
In the meantime, I am trying to locate a new 801 charger to see if that solves the problem and if so will report back here. Any one know of a reputable US company that stocks 801 supplies?
I like the 801's for their draw and the cart size but will mainly stick with my JS and Kissbox and one other heavy hitter when the new stock is available. (prodigy, screwdriver, GG, etc.).
I've passed off most of the 510's to my hubby who likes simplicity.
