Be careful as these batteries surpass 2000 mAh. If you read about the
iPowerUS 2100 mAh cells under Latest Updates & Test Findings here:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/BATTS/BATTS.HTM
You will see that as they try to cram more and more capacity into these
cells, some problems will start to crop up. I would imagine that a
recording session with the Jukebox Recorder or a long file transfer
session with any model could destroy this brand of cells in short order!

The above link is a great place to get the scoop on how NiMh batteries
really perform.
