14oz total is extremely light for 14ah and the price isn't bad either. Seems like a fair price if those specs are legit.

Any idea how many charges it will take before dying vs. a LAB ?
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

That's a good question and I'd be interested in the answer too. I currently use one of these, mostly because it's supposed to last longer than anything else:

I just received my two batteries. No testing yet, but they do weigh 14oz.
Charging by mini USB to regular USB via computer or adapter. It is the thinner type small USB
Includes round pin connector for FF hook up.
