I shop for MAH ratings only. Name means nothing to me, unless I
hear of a specific fraud. To check for that, just do a google on the
name of the battery.

Consumer reports reviewed store brand batteries and compared them
against DURACELLS and ENERGIZER brands and found essentially no
difference - except the store brands (walgreen etc) were half the
price.

Well, as the page (<http://tinyurl.com/5wd69>)
says, the batteries are by DigPro. Any problem with these?

I don't get any hits, so I would trust that the batteries are fine
and will work better if you treat them better.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I've never had any problems with Assia batteries from homenext (it's both an
ebay seller name and a website - homenext.com)
