What is the difference between these white batteries, versus the standard black ones?

The black ones supposedly have slightly higher capacity (maH). However, the white may be higher quality, although Amazon usually stands behind their products very well.

They are both advertised as 'pre-charged' and have the same capacity ratings. However, the white version is made in Japan and appears to be rebranded 2nd-gen Sanyo eneloop. The black version is made in China by some unknown manufacturer, and its charge-retention rate is not as good as that of the Sanyo eneloop. Obviously the white version is a better deal.

I really can't tell the difference although I haven't "timed" them shooting video. I've spent several long days shooting many 100's of pics for findagrave.com. They would end up discharged after about the same "duty cycle" as the factory battery. They were about $5-6 ea. delivered when I purchased mine, so I bought 3. I could have gotten by with just 1 spare.

Thank you for your question. But we feel so sorry! No, the built in battery version does not come in black, only white ones in stock.

I cannot answer that but I notice in pictures the two batteries look quite similar. My recommendation is go to national chain hardware store (Ace, True Value, etc) or building supply dealer (like Home Depot) and ask the sales staff to confirm.

There is no different inside. The plastic colors are different. The "white" is white and red. The "black" is black and white. The only thing that is confusing is that the manual says that the WHITE side is the front. But on the white one, the RED side is the front. If you get the white one and follow the manual, it will fly backwards. There is one other really important error in the manual. The manual says that the charger lights RED for charging and GREEN for charge done. In the one that I got, the charger is RED when charge is done and not lit while charging.

Yes, I would get this and just keep sparestoo. They do have the higher newer black version which holds more battery charge but a bit pricier but I highly recommend this. All my batteries are 2nd and 3 rd generation. All blue, green and black. I don't own any white ones. They all work super tho.

Cannot imagine any difference at all. They are after market batteries and I have had pretty good luck with them. Just make sure the specs are correct.

I would say that either one of these batteries is about the same..have used both of them with no problems.

The one I purchased was an AGM type battery which is regular sized. l think the lithium ion type batteries are lighter and more compact than the OEM and require spacers.

These particular batteries are a button top. I have several of them and they are the same height or only 1mm taller than my flat top batteries. Hope this post helps

To tell you the truth I have never even noticed any difference. These batteries perform every bit as well as the Sony batteries and I have used them for years. The package deal is the only way to go, and after market offers have proven to me to be a great savings without loss of quality. Good Luck.

I had the old black batteries which I believe were the 244760-00. I did order new batteries and the HPB18-OPE2 batteries work as good if not better than the original black batteries. I believe the new version of the battery will work as a general replacement for all of the old 244760-00 batteries. I use the batteries on a weed eater and blower interchangeably. Great replacements.

Robert,I believe I have both and have notice no difference between the two. I don't let them run down and keep them on a regular charging cycle.

Hi Shirley , The battery fit the charger like the factory one . It looks a little different because it is white instead of black .

I don't have the extended battery with a different back. I have the standard 2600 mAh Anker battery and it is white..

The only difference is the color. The white ones with the colored trim are the standard ones the company typically carries. I believe the black ones with the colored trim were custom done for a different company, as they are not offered by the manufacturer or in any local retail location.
