I've had 2 or 3 of the XS Power D1600, no issues.
Have had the Braille B169L 16V lithium for years now. Not a single problem, pretty light (9 LB), very strong, very durable and charges quick. Little pricey at $1000 for the battery and charger but you have already lost that much in winnings by having a couple fail.
I have had great luck with the XS as well. I recommend them to anyone that is wanting a 16V.Quote:

It's not bashing as long as your honest and realize not everyone has the same results with products. Sometimes things happen and you get bad parts, it's how the company handles it afterwards is what I look for.Quote:

Again memory not that great, but that was months ago but the replacement failed and still getting the run around (somewhat from what owner is telling me - again I'm not involved in any conversations) but last I knew they said they was looking at it and trying to restart the battery.
If all that is true and the battery is only 4 months old, just send me a new battery and the other one they got back 4 months ago at a prorate or replacement and be done with it. We'll see how this turns out and if they make it right or least attempt to.
Keep in mind, 3 batteries been purchased:
2 original batteries
1 failed - no time to get it inspected for warranty so sent off for warranty anyways
Purchased another due to time constraints
latest one failed and was returned
Still no replacement batteries yet or quoted cost to get them fixed
