Dave, I use both the Battery 1 for my AF280T and two Battery 2s for my AF400T.
On the occasions when I have a big event to shoot - wedding, ceremony, banquets - it gives me great peace of mind. The quicker recharging times are fantastic and help when doing weddings or taking two posed shots of a group. I have had one of the batteries recelled and it is as good as new. I like the clips on them as I place them on my belt and they are pretty much unobtrusive. I always carry batteries just in case, but have yet to resort to them. I have had only one problem with them. I had to resolder one end of the wires - going to the AF400T. I just keep aware of how I press the wire or how much stress I am placing on it. A minor inconvenience considering what it provides.
