Thanks in advance for letting me know!

Well, You can use all of the batteries mentioned in the thread. My wife and me, we are using the Akku-king for more than a year now. And everything is working fine. But others here in the forum are using the vhbw or the jubatec and there are no complaints as well.

Hi Federico,
if you’re still looking, I have 2 FP1 batteries that I used alternately from mid-2016 to late 2018 (which is when my FP1 died). If you want one or both, let me know.
