My only point was you aren't dealing with a dummy. I'm glad others have had good experiences with Zippy batteries. Maybe they've improved since I tried them. Maybe others have gotten lucky and I didn't. All I know is that I tried them and found them adequate when they were new and unusable about about 50 cycles. The aggravation of dealing with them wasn't worth the cost savings, so I stepped up to something better and have been impressed so far with what an extra $10 or so gets you. Other pilots can buy whatever they want to.
