x2 1300 question/issue

[SteveI]

When did they change it??? Is it advertised somewhere?
I opened my x2 1300, and instead of being fat, it is the same width as 650 and 900, just longer.
I got used to the fatter batteries, and freaked out when I first saw it.... It does not seem possible to have the same capacity?

edit: tryin' but really not liking the battery. Just too long, and makes my vivi look ridiculously fat.
I guess I'll stick with the spinners going forward.

Like vaping a frigging Bazooka, 'eh? LOL!

Hasn't it always been only the 1300mah Spinners that are fatter? I didn't know the the 1300mah X2's were ever fatter.

I thought they were.... pretty sure I read that somewhere. To be honest, I never bought the x2 1300 before.

I have a 1300mah X2 that I purchased on 7/4/13 (I had to check to my SI account just now to see when I bought it. Couldn't remember if it was a 1300 or not either) and it's the skinny version. I bought a 1300 Spinner shortly after that on 7/20/13 and it's the fat version.

I know that doesn't help much. We still don't know if they used to make a fat 1300 X2 or not. Just thought I would toss that out there.

Thanks SnowDog...
Makes me feel better. And getting a little more used to it. I still prefer fat, but I get the feeling the non-spinners may have a longer life overall. BTW, how long does yours take to fully charge?

I'm with you there Steve. I like the wider diameter of my Spinner a lot better. My X2 still gets used but not nearly as much as my Spinner.

My 1300 Spinner takes 3-3 1/2 hours to charge and my 1300 X2 takes about 6-8 hours to charge. They both have their place in my routine but the Spinner is my favorite of the two. My X2 is an automatic and that also contributes to my preference for the manual Spinner.
