Belt Pack Battery price

[tdtastic]

Need to get my hands on several BP-800-NM's as soon as possible. B&H has them for $121 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...Af7Ls4z24R1Ur0nNqEx-bWS9qHMBrHlxoCIdYQAvD_BwE

But Walmart.com shows them for less than $40. https://www.walmart.com/ip/smavco-B...6024&wl11=online&wl12=283439852&wl13=&veh=sem

Thoughts? Is this NOT the same thing?!

It looks like the Walmart version is a generic manufacturer/knock off brand while B&H is selling you brand name.
No experience with them but that's your price difference. The Walmart site is quite lacking in an specs...

yeh you're right. I just sucked it up and went with the real deal. They'll last me longer and I probably will have lower risk of spontaneously combusting stage managers...

Plus, since you need them ASAP. Go with someone you can trust

For what it's worth, the regular Alkaline battery trays for the Telex BTR-800 can be used with rechargeable AA's as long as you keep the back plate off of the sled. If you're someone who needs flexibility with their stock of rechargeable AA's it's good to keep in mind!

Edit: Additionally, don't charge the regular tray's with rechargeables in them via the Telex Battery Charger, you'll need to take the Rechargeable AA's out and charge them in their dedicated chargers.
