Drift Ghost S Battery

[thunderous71]

The battery on my Drift Ghost S is starting to fail, anyone tried one of the third party compatible drift batteries out there and are the worth getting?

Ta!

I know Drift charges an obscene price for their OEM parts, but I think batteries are one thing you should try not to buy aftermarket for.

Get the originals.

Bought these ones from amazon
DSTE® 2x FXDC02 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery + DC143U Travel and Car Charger Adapter DC143U for DRIFT HD GHOST DSLR Digatal Camera

They give me a steady 3hrs on the Ghost S, and about 2hrs 40mins on the Ghost HD.

Worrying. A digatal DSLR...

One of the worst things about my Ghost S is the battery drain even when off, although doesn't happen on the Ghost HD.

Can't say I've noticed that. How long are you leaving it off?

Overnight down to 1 bar, aparently a known fault.
