I've bought several JBRs in the last 6 months. The OEM batteries in all of them were trash. They would not charge in the JBR and overheated in my quick charger. They're residing in a landfill somewhere now and the JBRs contain 2100 mah batteries that work fine. Trash the OEM batts and get some good ones. Most any brand will work.
