The station reported low battery for the 2 weeks that the counterfeit battery was installed. Normally the low transmitter battery indication goes off within a day. The kicker was that the station went dead last night and picked up once the solar cells lit up at dawn. I ran out to home depot and purchased a replacement and that is working perfectly and the low transmitter battery indicator went off immediately. I looked further and the name of the Amazon seller has changed at least once in the comments. There is no doubt it is just another Amazon scammer.
