    Just a few quick questions on the RED Bricks, now that I see a few pop up in the used market.
    • Can you use third party chargers with the bricks?
    • Do they generally have good longevity or should I be weary about buying used?

    3rd party chargers work just as fine. I still see a lot of old bricks with REDONE labeled on them. So after 4+ years they still go strong.

    It's REDcode or no code...

    Longevity wise they have been extremely good and reliable in general. If I was using third party chargers, I'd make sure the manufacturers officially state they support Red Brick batteries for peace of mind and safety reasons.
