I own 2 genuine vholdr batteries now for my 1080HD system. People are having problems with poor quality aftermarket batteries. The genuine vholdr runs for a tad over 3 hours – enough to fill the 16GB disk easily with room to spare.

As with any new battery, you should charge it and drain it 3 times to “wake it up” upon receipt. This, and keeping it in a charged state, will prevent premature failure.

Now to tell if you bought a genuine product – the packaging is very distinct – clear plastic box folded from thin sheet plastic and meant to be hung on a rack. The box is much larger than the battery, and includes a small instruction card. Finally, both the box and battery carry the VholdR logo. Any other cheap packaging indicates a cheap battery. I bought mine from amazon and got the real thing which works fine with their system.

Technical specs: 1050 mAH Li-Ion, with 3 terminal sensor for charging properly.

Finally I don’t want to stereotype that all non-OEM accessories are sub-par but as far as batteries go for cellphones, I have a motorola that will run 4-5 days while so called “super-aftermarket” batteries can barely keep it alive 30 hours without any use. Given these are the same size batteries I’d expect the real product to be essential here.

Bait and Switch???, January 14, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Contour 2350 ContourHD Battery (Electronics)

I recently ordered the VholdR 2350 CountourHD Battery as shown on the image as a factory battery only to be shipped a RageCams aftermarket battery?!? Everything in the description showed the factory battery but I did not receive it! The comments on the receipt say “(Not the same one shown).” What kind of shady business practice is this???
