AFAIK if u buy a no name brand it's not really better or worse ! they are a=

cooking just with water and therefore there isn't that hughe difference.
except for fairly new tp models with intelligent chips inside. but u can go

in your old battery case but have an eye on the voltage an Amperes and what
type of battery u user (Lion. Li-Mh, .....)=20
