Even the U.S. distributor advises caution with custom packs and he uses one himself. Frankly, until you have some time under your belt with a PTW, use their battery.

But all the SystemA batteries I have seen are just made with Sanyo NiCd cells. Nothing special really. I have three packs sitting on my desk from a custom battery place and I made sure they used the exact same brand and type of cells used in official SystemA packs and they only cost me $50 each. All I'm missing is the metal rod that keeps the pack rigid but I have seen pics of European PTW owners with essentially the same thing as me and they say it works great.
