After reading this and other forums, I tried it with one from aliexpress just soldered head onto new battery and charged it up full. When i used it first time(was totally dead when purchased wouldnt power up) it only showed 1 charge but only the 4700Mah capacity not the 6000Mah claimed by battery, so I'll have to buy the software to change that but using the EV2400 i was able to see there was no flags of any kind. The next ones I buy will be the 12 celled replacment the first one was only 6. So I guess what I'm getting at is that it works and just be safe. Lots of thanks to cruzroy and his videos.
