It may well be that 4400mAH is a kosher replacement for the bottom of the range and just doesn't suit you. MBQ

The standard part is 5800mAH; there are higher-capacity ones available, but none lower AFAICT. Jon -- SPAM BLOCK IN USE! To reply in email, replace 'deadspam' with 'green-lines'.

Who said anything about shipping back to China? You simply demand a refund from Paypal. > The PayPal refund will not apply if > the cells turn out to be short-lived or low-capacity, rather than > completely broken.
