Reputable Battery Vendor Suggestions (other than RTD & Illumination Supply)

[BlunderCat]

Hi there,

I'm looking to purchase some Sony VTC5s, and both RTD Vapors & Illumination Supply are out of stock.
Are there any other recommended vendors out there?

Thanks!

VTC 5's are very hard to come by right now(if not impossible), you may look into the xtar batteries that are re-wrapped VTC 4's. I have been looking for about a week or two for the 5's and finally gave up and bought the xtar VTC 4's, but at most all your losing is a little mAh.

From what I've heard, Sony is no longer making the vtc5, so you're going to have to look into different batteries. Be wary of any vtc5's you see available since all of the reputable vendors are out, as you've seen.

I just saw a thread which also mentioned that they are no longer being made. Such a shame.

Can anyone recommend good, comparable IMR batteries then?
