$25 for 2 batteries that take 5 hours to charge and have unknown performance levels? eh, good beginning but I think it'll be a while until they're worth buying

cool idea. but 5 hours and only 1300mAH. And not to mention you'll need a computer or laptop to recharge them.

But, still, thats kinda cool.
