Whopping price: Is it me or does anyone else think $72 for a freaking battery is expensive...

They have gone the way of Panasonic and introduced a "chip" in the battery, so that none of the cheap knockoffs will work. Booooooooo!

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

Totally agreed!!! so I'm planning to buy the spare battery... I think Amazon needs to correct the misleading information regarding the specification of UL30A!!

Why on Earth would you pay 120 bucks online if you can get it at Home Depot for less than 75? I guess you have a different view of "a good deal" than I. The panel itself produces the advertised power but mine stopped working after less than three years which I thought was poor for a device with no moving parts. Personally, I will not buy this brand again and I only paid 91 dollars, including shipping. The price seems to have gone up a lot.

You assume I know ALL the different models and I don'tYES VERY GOOD BATTERY And yes cover fits almost perfect.I do however feel it was quite overpriced. Get a 5000 to 6000 mah battery with a high star rating and you may be better satisfied. Just my opinion.

It didn't say that it wasn't new when i purchased the battery. I assumed that it was new. It sure doesnt work like a new battery though. It is better (slightly) than a dying battery which is what a had at the time. So, if you looking for a slight upgrade for the cost; it is a good deal.

One battery "pack", at approx. $71, per boot. You can purchase separately or together.

Yes, that's very incorrect. It's not just expensive, it's exorbitant. I'm having one installed in a few days and they quoted $760, which I thought was very high.

I haven't even tested the battery life yet (I've only had it plugged in) but the rest of the system is pretty awesome. Sorry...... I am still upset that they dropped the price by 300.00 a month after I bought it!

It sound like two $13 12V/5A batteries connected in series (24V) sell for $86. No Thanks! I'll use gasoline, I can't afford to go "green"

Not sure of the cost but I know batteries plus stores sell replacement computer batteries. They may change it for you. Unless it's under warranty this may be the way to go

When I ordered them a couple of months ago, the price was per battery. I felt the $11 plus was very reasonable since B&D; used to sell items for about $27 for 2. But it is NOT $11.00 for two!!!!!

I remain confused why every time I click the link for this product a different price and seller is featured. They range from $3.01 to $28 (for new) and how are we supposed to know which is going to give us the quality battery and not? My order says the 2 batteries I ordered came from PacificCellularDistributor ($9.30) and neither one would charge past 83%. The vendor us not happy with my negative review saying their batteries are OEM and the fault must lie with Amazon and pulling the wrong stock for them because they supposedly supply only OEM batteries. I'm not the only one with a comment their battery from them did the same, so my review will not be edited. Like I said in my review, I can believe these are OEM however I doubt they are new. One has to wonder what happens to all those batteries when people upgrade their phones. I don't know, but I suspect they are sold in bulk to resellers who then sell them as "genuine OEM" batteries. The old saying "you get what you pay for" may indeed be the case here. I decided if I'm going to save some money vs a new one from the carrier phone store then I'll just take my chances on a vendor making "compatible" batteries, at least then I'm likely to get a new one. Good luck with all of you - I can't figure out the "fulfillment" process here when several vendors supply what is claimed to be the same thing and with extreme price ranges.

Unbelievable. That's my take on the price point established for this device. $2k to charge a USB device? 100w? That's about .8 (eight tenths) of one amp of current for any device needing 120vac (w/v=a). I can certainly understand the utility aspect of this item, but not the price being asked for such anemic output or novelty of sun tracking. And sorry, Matt, but "600" watts doesn't even come close to a 'typical' refrigerator. Mine demands 9.7amps - that's (v x a =w) so that's 120 x 9.7 = 1,164 watts. The price point is ludicrous for what is being offered.
