As I've mentioned in the other threads, this is really not a big deal. You can easily source more reliable batteries and chargers for the magicshine at a decent price. Total for the magicshine and replacement power is still significantly under what a comparable performing system will get you. I just bought my magicshine about a week ago and feel all this battery traffic is a whole bunch of nothing. Properly dispose of you questionable magicshine batteries, get a quality replacement set, and get out there riding!
