Title: G1 battery knockoffs
Post by: DarkPenguin on February 02, 2010, 12:42:07 pm

For anyone else who had a cow at the prospect of spending $70 for a G1 backup battery there are now third party knockoffs.  These apparently work with post 1.2 firmware ...

Will be purchasing one shortly.

Apparently, Canada is still offering the v1.2 firmware.

I never got around to buying one of those so I've no idea if it was any good or not.
