Power 2000 batteries?

[Johnboy2978]

I bought an Impact brand battery about 5 years ago w/ my DSLR that finally gave it's life the other day. As such, I'm in need of a new one now. My Pentax brand battery still works well but the Impact won't charge anymore. On B&H they now have a Power2000 brand that's $18 in comparison to $50 for the Pentax brand. Anyone w/ experience with this brand good or bad? I'd love to hear it. Thanks

I have a bunch of off brand batteries I THINK one of them for my 50D is a Power2000 or something darned close. I have had it for a couple of years without a problem, but at that price? If it lasts you a year you are doing just fine!
