Beware of cheap underperforming clones

As of 2023 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.

See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.

Battery physical size ?

I am looking at variety of suppliers to fix "flashing battery LED" with NOT EXACT same  brand name of the battery ,  and none of them  specify the physical size of the battery.
I realize I am little paranoid for few $ , but...
Looks as the smallest capacity is 250mAh, no big deal since I am planning NOT to use it without AC power.

I had to go to a vape shop to find the right sized battery. It’s shorter
than the same number sold at Batteries Plus. No built in protection as the
nano has the protection on the board.

Got mine from Amazon:  Search on
QOJH Rechargeable Battery 3.7V Flat top Lithium Rechargeable Batteries for Headlamp, LED Flashlight, 2Pack ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL7KPHWP?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 )

Fits fine and has worked fine.

Again go to: https://batteryhookup.com/     if you want 18650, 21700
etc... Most have been in standby or lightly used and pennies on the
dollar. I've purchased over 1k bucks worth in the last 5 years.
