Mt Chen-- Hello and good to hear from you. If these are the silicone lead batteries you are referring to then yes I have 1.5 years of experience with them. I have them in my e moto 2000kw scooter and I have found them to be unsatisfactory. I have replaced them once, for $500 but they are heavy and they do not hold a charge after 1 years use. I do not recommend them at all.
My XM-3000 batteries have about 1300 km on them (according to odometer), and I can barely do 10 miles after a full charge, without hitting the low-voltage cutoff. My XM-3000 arrived June 2008, so they're about a year old. Since my commute is 10 miles (or ~16 km), this represents about 80 commuting trips (and subsequent recharge cycles). I expected at least 300, so I would rate my battery experience at unsatisfactory.
XM3100 equipped with greensaver battery.
By now 2nd generation greensaver battery in XM3000 & XM3100 already in USA for 1.5 years,any market feeback on its quality and life cycles ?

What's the production date of your replacement batteries ? The date should be showed on battery.
