Icon Net Ready charging anomoly - battery ready for change?

[Kharon]

I just bought a replacement battery from Leisure Pro since Mares is no longer making the icon Hd ( call it an insurance policy move) . Derek R is correct the replacement battery I received is a 18650 battery 3100 mAh. Came in a Mares labeled bag.

Mine must have been as well. If Mares is good with it then so am I. I just wouldn't go out of spec on my own.

I am curious. Are you noticing any additional battery life ( slower discharge rate or time between charges) with the newly installed battery compared to the original?

Just my feeling, no real test data, is that it discharges at about the same rate. If it's slower, it's not by much. The big difference I see is that it seems to charge way faster.
