Not sure what you are asking, " any of these", do you mean Ltimes?
I am running Redodo's,, going on 2 years. Told you I have a couple of buds that are using Weise's.... Their batteries are over 2 years old.
Here is a write up from an Rv.net bud Skipro4 about his L times...
I understand the charging and capacity issues. I'm not trying to run the aircon or anything crazy. Mostly just keeping the 12v compressor fridge going for a couple days...but I have the charging under control just wondering if the $100-150 100amphour batteries have any obvious gotchas, as they sound too good to be true.

the biggest thing is that in 2017 Li batteries were 258 bucks for a kwh, last year they are down to 139/kwh and this year you can see prices down to 75 bucks per kwh and they are expected to keep droping through 2028 dues to the over production of cells. for example when I built my first 280AH battery that I reciently gave to a friend the cells were just over 250US each, now I can buy thoes same cells for 80US each and the 304AH cells I bought in november for 135US are down to 98US almost a year later. oh thats wrong they are 98.00 but thats for the new version that is rated for 7 to 8000 cycles instead of the 4000 cycle version one I have. so part of the issue is we are used to seeing thoes 600 to 800 buck batteries in 2017 and 2018 now the retail on thoes samn batteries is down 300 or less due to lower costs and more compitition. its still good to check reviews and such, but chins, li time, reedoo are all well built "cheep" batteries
